Thank you for the quick response! The fix does work for the application button.

I did notice another 404 error I was getting, though, when I am looking at the job information after clicking ‘more info’. I have tried looking through the PHP files and was not able to find it (though, I’m a novice at PHP at best): When I click on “job: job test” post heading (after clicking ‘more info’) it links me to https://jjr.iblogger.org/job-test-25, and a ‘page not found 404 error’.

https://jjr.iblogger.org/jobs/job-test (here is the URL again)

As well, when at the Application screen, the permanent link to https://jjr.iblogger.org/2010/01/04/apply/ does not work (404 error).

My custom structure for the permalinks was below:
/%postname%-%post_id%

I actually rechecked the www.ads-software.com codex files on permalinks, and saw that using the /%postname% at the beginning of the permalink could cause issues

I now have changed permalinks to this setting:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

The above mentioned 404 errors with ‘job testing’ and subsequent job posts still exist after changing permalinks, though, sadly.

Is this generally a problem with the theme that I have chosen? Or does it have to do with the custom permalinks?

I must say thank you for your help!

I don’t understand either why this theme is a mess. It requires a little bit of coding to get the page navigation at the top to work, but that’s really simple to do (visit this link to see how to do it: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/327281?replies=2#post-1338192).

I like this theme: the one column look is really nice and its minimal. I also like the styling of the page navigation at the top.

Thanks again for the nice theme,

This response is way late, but I figured I would add it here anyways to help out.

The Wu Wei theme is great, but it does require a little bit of code editing to get the page navigation at the top to work.

To edit the pages on the top navigation, you will need to go into the ‘Administration Panel’ of your WordPress blog. When you are there, go into the section labeled ‘Appearance’, then click on ‘Editor’. When in ‘Editor’, select the ‘Wu Wei theme’ from the drop-down list. In the list you will want to click ‘Header (header.php)’.

Scroll down while in the ‘header.php’ file and locate this coding:

<ul id="menu">

<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/" <?php if(is_home()) {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>><span>to the beginning</span><br />home</a>
</li>

<li><a href="#"><span>description here</span><br />link 1</a></li>

<li><a href="#"><span>description here</span><br />link 2</a></li>

Do you see the # sign in <a href="#">? Well, what you need to do is to enter in a URL (site address) in place of that # sign directly in the code. Then, description here needs to be replaced with the description of the link, and link 1 and link 2 need to be replacd with the link name.

Do not forget to click on the button ‘Update File’ when you are done editing the code. If you don’t do that, then the changes you made will not save.

Now visit your site, click Refresh if you have to in your browser, and then the page navigation at the top should work on your blog.

Hopefully this helps out!
