Worked like a charm – resolved –
Thanks for the quick response!

Moshu : Thnx, I have a lot to learn about wp, this is my first real blog. I’ll give your solution a go, definately sounds much leaner.

Root : It’s my own theme, I’m not dumping it lol:P

Thank you! Your blog is very pleasing to the eye as well:-)

The links in the menu are yes. It’s only a small site, I use pages for an about me, portfolio and contact page. Other than the blog that’s all there is. I stripped everything I didn’t need.

It’s at https://www.massiveresistance.com. Very much a wip still though, but coming along nicely:-)

Whoa I just found the prob. I just fixed it. The navigation I was clicking through was still set to the default style link. Since that always keeps working no matter how you permalink your pages and posts this meant I never really realised it untill now! So I just change the links to /aboutme and /portfolio and I’m set:-)

Thanks Heacceity for all your help and effort!

Yes the pages all have a slug name, and wordpress just ignores it and posts the default page-id=x style link:-(

I just upgraded to wp 2.2 in hopes of fixing this prob but alas, I’m not so lucky:P

Thanks, I’m a lot further now. The posts I’ve made now use the permalink structure to display a nicer url. The pages I’ve made however do not.

I know there’s a lot to read on this topic but nothing seems to work for me(the permalink seems to be one of the more controversial things in WP). WordPress has access to the .htacces doc and the mod_rewrite module is active.

Anyways any help is greatly appreciated cause I’m not going to be able to fix this on my own:-(

Thanks! I got it to work. The database location was wrong, but that info was hard to find in my provider’s faqs.

Thanks for the effort!

Thnx guys. I’m digging in the codex as we speak. Already got the whole blog up and running(under my custom design). Now I want to see how viable it is for me to get wp to handle everything. I think that I can pull this off if I put some effort in:-)

I kinda in the same position as the topic starter.

I want to build a portfolio website with a blog. I too am new to wordpress and blogging. Should I be focussing on editing the appearance of the default look to match my site(basically build my site in wp) or should I focus on building my site and incorporating wp in there. While there are many tutorials on www.ads-software.com I can’t seem to find any that deal with more ambitious editing.

Anyways any help here is greatly appreciated.
