Figured it out. I had “Post:” written on the top line of my post.php document. Removing that fixed it. Weird.

Update:

According to Internet Explorer’s web developer tool, the sidebar has a different sizcach and sizset depending on whether its in a post or a page. This is the only difference I can find.

Can anybody help a desperate web developer? Thanks!

It worked. You’re the man, Tobias. Thanks.

I’m deducing that that the problem is not in the “custom permalinks” plugin but in the custom permalink structure. When I change the permalink structure back to the WordPress default (https://www.etny.net/?p=123), posts go live with custom permalinks but pages give 404’s. So I’m thinking that the custom permalink structure (/index.php) is sitting on some file somewhere that is telling the website that all pages should have the /index.php structure. My problem is that I don’t know where to begin looking.

Any idea what files would inform the website on that level?

Thanks a lot,

I have tried deactivating the plugin and changing the permalink structure back to default. When I do both, all pages go down. When I just deactivate the plugin, half of the pages go down. When I just change the permalink structure, all of the pages go down.

I wish I know where to begin looking. Any ideas?

The plugin is called “Custom Permalinks”. When installed it adds a field below your page or post title, where you can enter a custom permalink. I have used it because I want my URLs to be more search engine friendly and readable.

I have. When I change the permalink structure back to ‘default’, all of my posts work perfectly but all of my pages go down completely. Even if I assign a new custom permalink to a page, I get a ‘page not found’ error message. So I’m thinking somewhere in some file is an instruction that all pages must start with “index.php”. But I did a site-wide find/replace, with no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks.
