    Hi, just came across this theme, love it! Web design and coding is NOT my thing! I have a few problems/things I need help with:

    http://www.tomusicc.com

    1. Pages, tags and category links ALL not working!
    2. I want to delete "Just another WordPress weblog" from the top.
    3. Can I add more social icons to the Navibar?
    4. I want to delete the bottom section "Mystique theme by digitalnature | Powered by WordPress" aswell as the 3 buttons.
    5. Lastly, I need to change the WordPress icon to a logo of my own.

    Obviously the first point is the most important, as no links are working!
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    1. Create a text file called .htaccess with the following code, and upload it to your root

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    2. In your admin, go to Settings > General and edit the tag line. If you continue to have problem with title tags see this - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/378377

    3. Yes, if you want to know exactly how, you should contact the theme author.

    4. look in you footer.php file for the info and edit it.

    Thanks for your reply. Got a few things sorted! But I'm still having problems with the links and favicon! As i said, coding is not my thing, so you can imagine the expression on my face right now.

    I created a text file, in notepade, right?? I uploaded it to my host in the main folder, but it didn't make a difference. I don't know if I need to edit what you posted, or if I uploaded to the wrong place...

    I downloaded and installed the favicon plugin, but I don't know where to paste the link to my logo! I pasted it in a few places, but still didn't show.

    Thanks again.

    Hi,

    In your admin, go to Settings > permalinks and revert to the 'default'/ugly setting, then check the links on your site to see if they are working.

    If they are, go back to the permalinks section and reselect the permalink structure you want to use. If those links are now broken, the problem lies in your.htaccess file.

    There should be a .htaccess file in your root, along with the index.php file, wp-content, wp-admin folders. If you can see these other files & folders, you're in the right place

    If there isn't a .htaccess file there, create a file called 1.htaccess using a text editor, copy & paste the code below into it, upload it to your root via an ftp client, then check the file to make sure no wierd characters have been added. If it looks fine, rename it to .htaccess.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Favicon: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/personal-favicon/installation/

    If you can't get that to work, try a different plugin and follow its installtion guide.
