  • 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.
  • they are selected on the default setting. does he need to change something in his .htaccess file? his is set to 666
  • 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/)

    If you go to "Settings > Permalinks" and enter "" 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.
  • thanks guys!
