Blog acting very weird.

    Hi,

    I’m using WP as a CMS I had just static pages, but I wanted to add a blog section in my site. I wanted to for blog to be located here, like this:

    page | page | page | blog

    So I changed code in header.php

    from this:

    <div id="topMenu">
  <ul class="sf-menu">
	<?php wp_list_pages('hide_empty=1&exclude=1&title_li='); ?>
  </ul>
</div>

    to this:

    <div id="topMenu">
  <ul class="sf-menu">
	<?php wp_list_pages('hide_empty=1&exclude=1&title_li='); ?>
     <?php wp_list_categories('hide_empty=1&exclude=1&title_li='); ?>
   </ul>
</div>

    I created category named “IT Blogs” and 1 post for testing purposes.

    At first everything seemed fine, when I pressed IT Blogs a blog page opened with my test post inside of it.

    The problem is that when pressing on blog’s title I get reddirected to one of my pages (but without images).
    When previewing post from admin panel same thing happens.

    There is no way to leave a comment for this post

    when pressing on comments I also get reddirected to one of my pages.

    I doesn’t look like the permalink settings were updated correctly. Go back to Settings/Permalinks in your admin area and set your permalink structure again. See this for more info:

    I’ve read about permalinks, I think the problem is that I use %pagename% permalink for my pages, and that blog can’t understand that.

    Is it possible to use two different types of permalinks ?

    edit:

    I’ve tried using /%category%/%postname%/ and the blog works great now, but there is a small problem with pages at the moment.

    Before using this permalink I had this in address bar:

    page.com/pagename

    now I have this

    page.com/pagename/

    And also images aren’t displayed in some pagees. What could be the problem here ?

    Post names and page names are actually the same thing when permalinks are concerned, so %postname% should be what you want.

    page.com/pagename/ is the correct format with the trailing slash. There really is no difference between the two, but WordPress prefers to have the trailing slash.

    As for the images not displaying in some pages, could you provide a link to the specific pages?

    I’ve resolved problem with images.

    One last thing about permalinks,

    Using /%category%/%postname%/ is the closest I’ve got to my desired result.

    only problem is that when using this permalink, when I click on blog this is displayed in address bar: site.com/category/blogname/ where I wan’t for it do display site.com/blogname/.
    If I remove /%category%/ from permalink then I will achieve this, but when browsing to post inside that blog this is displayed: site.com/postname, but I would like this to be displayed: site.com/blogname/postname in address bar.

    It might help if you stuck to the one topic with this question.

    Any chance of getting this answered ?

    If you want to achieve “site.com/blogname/postname”, you will need to move your blog into a directory titled “blogname” and use the /%postname%/ permalink structure.

    Thank for you reply, but what if WP is used for this site and just one small section of it is blog ?

    Could you please click this link and look at the address bar (it isn’t displayed as I’d like there), then click on post title and then have a look at address bar(it is displayed as I’d like there).

    That’s functioning correctly. Unfortunately, when viewing a category, there’s no way to removed “/category/” from the permalink. It’s kind of an organizational “feature”.

    So with my current setup it’s impossible to achieve what I’d like ?

    I believe so. Some people can work magic with .htaccess rewrites, but what you want to do is outside of what I know.

    Ok, guess I will just have to live with it.
