Answer 1

For nginx users

Use the following in your conf file for your site (usually /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com)

location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; }

This hands off all permalink requests to index.php with a URI string and supplied arguments. Do a systemctl reload nginx to see the changes and your non-homepage links should load.
