   I've been searching the forums and breezed through the Using_Permalinks guide but haven't found a solution here. My problem, in a nutshell:

   - My site is setup to display posts on a blank page, as you can do under Settings > Reading
   - My site, if you need reference: http://windonaleaf.net
   - I'm using a custom permalink structure that I'm pretty sure is ok: /%category%/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
   - The Older Posts link breaks for readers who are not logged in. The link is /page/2/, but they get redirected to /2/, which 404s
   - I get the same redirect and 404 behavior if I log out
   - But if I'm logged in, the Older Posts link at the bottom of my front page works. It links to /page/2/, I don't get redirected, and I'm able to browse back through my posts
   - The behavior I've listed also remains the same if I change permalinks to one of the built-in options, like "Day and Name"

   I've been banging my head on this for about a week now and can't figure it out. I'd be grateful for ideas.

   As this is a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme's vendors.

   Pretty sure this isn't a theme issue, it seems like a permalink issue, no?

   It could well be a theme issue. Have you tried switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to confirm it?

   Yes, I've done that as well as switching my permalinks to one of the standard options in testing. It's what led me to suspect this isn't a theme issue. I'm using a standard feature of the WordPress core to display my posts on a specific blank page, as you can set under Settings > Reading. I've edited my original post to make that clearer in case it's a factor.

   There is nothing obviously wrong with your custom permalink structure. If this is page-specific, then that further suggests that it is a theme issue - specifically a problem with a custom template.
