Hello guys,

I've never really used wordpress on any of my domains,
so my knowledge about wordpress is very little...

I've ran into this weird problem:

When I click on one of my categories, archives (For example
september) or tags, I get the "Page Not Found" error.

Anyone enlighten me on this one?

Do I need to set them up myself?

Thanks a lot for your help.

You don't need to set them up yourself. The problem is most likely the htaccess file. Check to see that there is one and if so rename that one and then redo your Permalinks in Settings/Permalinks

Got it!

Thanks a lot John.

Everything is fine now but I'm concerned about the posts...

You see, a lot of blogs (if not all of them) will show you snippets
of the posts & you have to click on "Read Full Post" to read a
particular post.

Does this happen automatically on wordpress, or do you
have to set it up yourself?

I only have 1 post at the moment & it's showing all of it
on the frontpage.

Thanks

Go into Posts/Edit and find the one that you have now. In the text box, find the place where you want the post to stop and then click on the icon in the toolbar that has a small box over a larger box. See the image below:

If you want just a snippet not the full post then insert the more link in the html part of your text editor like so where you want it to appear

<!--more-->

or if you are using the visual editor part of the text editor then click the icon that looks like a page with a horizontal line across it.

Hi Johnny,

It depends on the theme you are using....
You need to edit your index.php and home.php(if exists)
of your theme files and replace

the_content() with the_excerpt()

to show only the excerpts of your posts instead of full posts...
I have set the same settings at my own blog at

Got it too!

Thanks a lot guys. I really don't know how I didn't solve these
out sooner. PHP seems pretty simple when compared to other
languages.

Anyway,

thanks again.
