Rewrite rules not working in WordPress

What I understand from the above is you have .htaccess file and also correct code written in to the same file but still getting 404 issue. Let me tell you why. Your server not allowing .htaccess file to read or override permission. So how can you give this permission? Open your Apache httpd.conf file serch for AllowOverride now you can see it is present several times. check for below comment in to the same file:

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None

Just replace AllowOverride None by AllowOverride All

Now restart APACHE and it should work
