Hi everyone,
I've scoured the permalink tagged posts and can't find anything that resembles the issue I'm having. Basically, I've got a site, http://magiscreative.com, set up with a static homepage and a blog page. I've tried to set up the permalinks to be either %pagename, %postname or /%pagename%/%postname%/, but the blog page continues to resolve to /?page_id=5 every time.
So far, %postname is the best option because it successfuly displays the pagenames and postnames. But, I still can't figure out why the only one that won't work is the blog page. Anyone know what could cause this?
There is no /%pagename%/ permalink structure tag. Try reading Using_Permalinks.

Yea, I'm just using /%postname%/ because it defaults to the page slug text anyways and it works properly for everything except the url of the actual blog page. I've read through the permalinks instructions, but I can't figure out why it's still showing the page id # for that page.

Try manually changing the page slug (edit - page).

It's bizarre. On the Edit Page screen for "Blog", the preview permalink is correct "http://magiscreative.com/blog/" and when I click "View Page" it takes me to the page and the permalink appears correctly. Navigate away and back to the blog page and the page id # appears again instead of the page title.
I tried deleting it, re-entering the name and saving it, but the same thing happens. It's as though WP has recognized the change and will display it initially, but defaults whenever I navigate to the page.
