When I try to change my WordPress Permalink settings, links to posts and pages return a 404 page. I have found the only way to get them to work is to either use Plain permalinks or to include /index.php/ in my permalink url, like domain.com/index.php/postname. How can I get them to work without index.php being part of the URL?
My .htaccess is below, and I have also used the .htaccess suggested at https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-permalinks/#creating-and-editing-htaccess, but changes to the permalinks puts the code below back into the htaccess file. Mod_rewrite is enabled on my Apache server.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
