esmi – the permalinks were set to custom. I changed it to default and not all the posts work. No errors! Fantastic.

I’ll try to find time to follow your Using Permalinks link tomorrow.

webbrewers – not sure whether having the WordPress Address URL and Site Address URL set up the same is a problem or not. Seems not in this instance but I’m guessing there’s a reason why I may what them to be different at some point in the future. Time will tell I guess.

Lorback, webbrewers, esmi – thank you all so much for your help. I can’t thank you enough. I’ll revert back to Virtue theme and I can go to sleep with a smile on my face tonight.

Thank you for taking the time to help. I am very grateful.
Chris

webbrewers – the WordPress Address (URL) is https://www.thebuddingmusician.co.uk

..and the Site Address (URL) is the same. Not sure if this is good or bad.

esmi – I’ll try your permalinks suggestion

Hi,

You can see the site in the Twenty Fourteen theme with all plugins disabled at…

https://www.thebuddingmusician.co.uk/

Lorbach – I don’t have another blog at the moment. This is my first thing I’ve ever had on line…a New Year’s resolution. I’ll perhaps try that when I work out how to do it. Feels like a bit of a battle t the moment.

Thanks
Chris

Thank you.

I deactivated all plugins and still no joy.

I switched the theme and that didn’t work.

I then tried creating a new very simple post with just a few words…”test”.

The post title dropped into my “Recent Posts” in my footer (as did the titles of my posts with embeded youtube code). However, it appears there is something more fundamental wrong as when clicking on the basic “test” post it returned the same “page cannot be found” message.

Should I continue to work my way through your list of recommendations or do you think there could be a more simple fix on the basis that I’m getting errors on all my posts?

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

Yes, when I return to the text box after updating and viewing, the embeded code is still visible.

Furthermore, when I click on the Visual tab I can see evidence there is a video there.

I’ve tried publishing a link using the url as you suggested but I get the same “page cannot be found message”.

Could it be something in my settings?

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I’ve tried a view variations…

1) Added “http:” to the original embed code
2) Deleted “?rel=0” from the original embed code
3) Added “http:” to the original embed code and also deleted “?rel=0” from the original embed code

None of these worked. Might there be another solution?

Thank you
Chris
