    Are you sure that his permalinks are enabled? All I'm seeing are links such as "?p=7". Those are not permalinks. Have your friend go to his WordPress Admin > Settings > Permalinks, and make sure the right permalink structure is selected.

    The site does not appear to be using "friendly names" for permalinks. Its currently using the WordPress default permalink settings (url=http://threatjournal.com/wp/?p=34)

    If you go to "Settings > Permalinks" and enter "/%postname%/" in the "Custom Structure" box, then click "Save Changes", it will rewrite all your site's URLs to a better, more search friendly format.

    Looks like the problem is solved but you are still using default links instead of custom permalinks. The above poster gave you the correct solution for better SEO links.
