Did I change back to the default when I pasted that code on the Using Permalinks page under Creating and Editing? If not how do I find the default code? I still have not solved it. Thanks for your help though.

I’m not sure what you mean by resetting… I replaced the code in my .htaccess file with the code under the “creating and editing htaccess.” Is that what you mean? After I did that I got a 404 Not Found page throughout the website except the front page, until I reverted back to the default permalink settings. But when I changed it back to pretty permalinks the problem is still there…

I only have one plugin activated right now but that’s not it either.

I reverted back to default permalinks and then back to the pretty permalinks and had no luck. The Reading settings are correct and the front page has no parent. Any other suggestions?

If you want to change the URL address, you would need to update that yourself. Edit the page, click on the title of the page that you want to edit. Just below the title it says “permalink” and right next to that “edit”.

What I was saying in my first post is that I cannot take “sample-page” out of the permalink because it doesn’t show up in the editable field where you edit it. This is the whole problem.

I set the temp directory up as a temporary location for the website, not trying to remove that part of the url.

Actually, I think I renamed the sample page Artworks, which is the home page. But its child pages still think it is called “sample-page”… is that possible? I have no such page, I can’t make sense of it. In the child pages the word “artworks” does not appear in the url but “sample-page” does. And when I enter the url leeharveyroswell.com/temp/sample-page it goes to the home page. Am I making sense?

Hi, forgot to mention I have already permanently deleted the trash.

I am also trying to upgrade to the latest version and I get the exact same runaround about updating the database. I set my permissions to 777 and it’s still not working. I’m using WP 3.0.1. The most frustrating aspect of this is I was trying to uninstall because I am already having problems with it. I thought maybe uninstalling and reinstalling may help (I don’t know what happened because it was working for awhile) but i can’t even do that because it’s telling me I need to upgrade first. Any help would be appreciated.

Actually, I found the answer to my question on the Bytes for All forum since I’m using one of their templates. Thanks anyway.
