   Hi. I changed the permalink settings on my blog awhile back and ever since I have had a problem with the permalinks listed on my sidebar.php template.

   At first I got 404 errors, and then after fooling around with .htaccess I got an internal service error.

   I tried a Redirect plug-in, but now when I click on a sidebar link, for instance my Contact Page link, it just refreshes my blog main page.

   ex. http://slapclap.com/contact-me/

   That URL is from my old permalink setting. My new permalink setting is Ex. http://slapclap.com/?p=123

   HELP!

   Upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. Doubtful it'll solve your problem, but you REALLY should anyway.

   After that, de-activate all your plugins. Go to Settings > Permalinks, and re-save your Permalinks. Do you still get the same error? If not, you should be able to narrow it down to the faulty plugin by re-activating them one by one.

   If you still get an error, check your .htaccesss again for any extra characters or rubbish that's been inserted that's screwing things up.

   Thanks much. I will try this and report back. Just for reference sake this is my current .htaccess

   # BEGIN WPSuperCache
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WPSuperCache

   # BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   This didn't work for me, but my permalinks problem was actually a template problem. I needed to manually change the links in my sidebar template to match the permalinks on the blog.

   I am having the same problem and now assuming I have a template problem. Can someone lend me some insight, I didn't even have a .htaccess file until I looked through the permalink page.

   I'm having the same issue but it happened after I added a third page in the 2010 theme- now it only redirects to the new page and not to my site's main (home) page
   anyone have a solution for this?

   Fixed it! Turns out, it was a conflicting plugin.
