OMG, antelopeyip, it worked! I went halfway down the page to where it said “Permalinks without mod_rewrite”, changed the custom structure from /%postname%/ to /index.php/%postname%/ and it WORKED!

Thank you so much! If I could reach through the computer and hug you, I would! ??

Hmm…this sounds like pretty much the same problem I’m going through, so instead of creating a new post, I’m just going to append my pre-typed post below…

And I, too, uploaded twice and didn’t reinstall. (Maybe it’s a blessing that I found this post, then, if that turns out to be the case…)

I’ve searched for the answer to this question on here and other sites, but everything that has been suggested doesn’t seem to work.

So I’m bringing this to you in hopes you can help.

I’m a novelist and I’m trying to create a site to promote myself, my books, etc. I have a post page setup for my home page, as I thought a “news feed” would be a good idea for a landing page. (And I didn’t really have any other ideas for a home page.) I created static pages for my biography, the books I’ve published, etc., but none of them work! Not when clicking on the nav bar, nor when putting the link into the address bar directly.

* Disabled plugins: no change
* Disabled widgets: no change
* Switched to both Twenty-Ten and Twenty-Eleven: no change

Is there another suggestion that’s been posted that I might be missing? The site in question is https://www.dayanararyelle.com, by the way.

(And no, I’m not going to be as silly as those other people that say “WordPress sucks!” It looks like it’s going to be a very nice site that is very easy to manage, if I can ever get it going. The only way WP is going to suck is if that none of us can find a solution and I have to give up and switch over to a mediocre site I’m creating with Yahoo’s SiteBuilder. T_T)
