I'm creating a blog at http://sima-wisdom.net. Strangely, none of the links work. You can see where they're supposed to be on the web host, however, the folders that the pages are supposed to be in don't even appear in my hosting account. For instance, the Category and Archive folders do not event exist. Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

I wonder if it's the theme. The link paths show there should be folders for the year and month, however, these folders don't exist on the server so I can assume they aren't being generated. Very strange...
There are no actual archive and category "folders", this sort of data is in your database. They only appear to be folders in your pretty permalinks.
artisan5: You are likely having permalinks problems. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks and choose Save Changes even if you haven't changed anything. If this does not work, see: Using "Pretty" permalinks
esericsu: Yours has something to do with browser redirects. I get:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
I don't know what causes this... a plugin, a bad .htaccess redirect?

I solved my problem by deactivating my redirection plugin http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
No more error pages for me after I took that bitch down.
Thanks

Iridiax: You were so right about it being a permalink problem. I set it to Default and now the pages appear. The problem is resetting my .htaccess file. When I tried to change the properties to writable, it wouldn't accept it. I then tried to create the file on my computer and FTP the file to the server. It didn't make a difference. It's as if the server is defaulted to control the .htaccess file on its own.
What next?

Strangely, when I set the .htaccess_permissions to 666 it would instantly revert back to unwriteable (644 I think). I contacted the web host. It turned out that I didn't have "ownership" of the file. It was set to "root". The host changed it, updated .htaccess for me, and now all is working fine!
