After install new wordpress on bluehost, you will be surprised that all your internal link broken – 404 error, seems only default permalinks works, any other format not working.
The issue is caused by .htaccess , when install new site on root folder, somehow simpescript or whatever tool don’t have permission to change .htaccess which in readonly file, so missing this part:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
add them to .htaccess, 404 error is gone!
