   Hello.

   I've set up (in Reading Settings) the front page to display a static page and assigned the Posts page to another page, called Archives.

   My permalink structure is /%pagename%

   Now, I get my posts to show up in Archives, but I cannot set the proper permalink set to them. So, instead of having mysite/archives/postname as the link for every post, I only get mysite/postname.

   I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the way I set up the custom permalink structure, but if I set it up like /%pagename%/%postname% I'm still stuck with a similar problem: mysite/postname/postname

   How can I get every post to resolve like this: mysite/pagename/postname?

   This is my WP site: http://www.pastorbob.org

   Thank you,
   Bob

   /%pagename% is not a legitimate structure tag for permalinks

   you may want to assign posts to a category and use
   /%category%/%postname%/

   anyway - look at the link and decide

   Thank you Samuel B.

   I went with your advice, since it seemed the most reasonable, but it didn't work I'm afraid.

   Unfortunately for me,
   

   Starting Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.

   , and even so I've tried it without success.

   Why though, as you say,
   

   /%pagename% is not a legitimate structure tag for permalinks

   , I don't know.

   I've tried many combinations and arrangements that included: pagename,monthnum,year,postname,category and post_id. Still no luck.

   Any suggestions?

   Regards,
   Bob
