    you will get better answers if you reply on the themes forum if they have one, i know it can be frustrating waiting on answers!! If they dont have a forum they should have at least a support desk assuming its a premium theme>?

    Keep at it!...

      If you have it based on a hosting account you can just goto the tech support Live IM chat - they're very helpful - and you won't have to wait for a reply.

    Hey there! Sounds to me like you have a permalink problem - and the format is not working out right. Did you make any changes to the permalinks to your posts? Can you share your website with us to look at?

    I agree, the themes forum might be a better place - but hey, you're here, you asked....so if we can help, let's do it!

    Cheers,
    Brian

      Going a little deeper from the permalinks idea . . . could you have changed the name of the post? Sometimes I've renamed them and run into similar problems.

      Let us know how it works out for you.

        So from looking at it, Theresa could be on to something. Renaming your posts could do it. But all of your posts are not linking, which tells me something did not switch over properly when you changed the permalink structure. Try changing the structure back to the p=id format, and then see if your links work. You may want to consider doing a backup of your wordpress before anything else, in case you happen to lose something as you tinker around.

    Yea What He said^^ heheh...

    I always use this code in my permalinks, in the custom structure code box!

    /%category%/%postname%/

    Works for me, good for SEO?
    Dunno if that helps you ?

    Yes I should think is a permerlink problem, I had the same experience yesterday when I changed my permelink to custom. The 404 error started appearing whenever I clicked read more of that post. I had to reset the permlink to default setting and it was corrected.
