    I have a blog that I am working on turning into a full website.
    The address is http://www.andiosiek.com

    I created several pages from a template. Then, in my Dashboard under Settings / Reading I changed the front page display to “portfolio” and the posts page to “blog”. The website opens fine and all the navigational links are taking me to the appropriate pages.

    Next, I edited the pages and changed all the permalinks to more appropriate addresses. For the most part it is exactly the way I want it to be.

    However, when I try to open up a blog post to its individual post page now, it loops back to the main blog page. When you look at the permalinks for these individual blog posts, they are a bit odd. For example, my most recent blog post (called “Dragon Magic”) now has a permalink address of http://www.andiosiek.com/http:/www.andiosiek.com/blog

    Does anyone know what setting is wrong and how I can get this to resolve itself? My scripts are all validating so I know that it has nothing to do with my coding at this point.

    Thanks in advance!

  • What is your current permalink setting? You could try setting it to the default setting then switching back to your current setting. That might reset them to their proper permalinks.

    Thanks Big Bagel!!!

    I tried this and although it didn’t reset them, it gave me some prompts when I clicked on the various options. One solution ended up being to use the Custom Permalink Structure of “/blog/%post_id%”
    I’m sure there are other options but I am just happy it is working now.

    Hope this may help others who have this issue in the future!

    From my laptop I went to my site and then to my Dashboard. In it I could click and open my posts but not my pages. I right clicked it and did some things but nothing. The funny thing is that from my home computer I could get in to my Pages. I believe it’s my laptop any help?
