static URL and issues with Permalinks (2 posts)

    I set up a WordPress site using a temporary url on BlueHost and began formatting and adding posts while waiting for a subdomain to be created on GoDaddy and masked to the temporary url.

    Now the subdomain goes to the blog, but the url remains static as the user clicks around the site. This creates an issue with sharing, particularly for Pinterest. I get the following error...
    Sorry, can't pin from non-HTML pages.

    Site
    http://blog.bambeco.com/

    Settings
    define('WP_HOME','http://blog.bambeco.com');
    define('WP_SITEURL','http://66.147.244.111/~bambecoc');

    Also, if I change the Permalinks settings from Default to Post Name, I loose all content. The new formatting stays, but all pages and posts disappear.

    How do I get the site to function properly?

    That's because you are using a cloaked/masked redirect. You need to get rid of the redirect and change the urls properly. See Changing_The_Site_URL.
