Why are pages showing up on the menu bar but links to them are not working?

    It’s probably related that when I save the pages, I get a 404 error. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong? I’m a new user and am trying to get the site functional asap. Thanks! – Jennifer

    I’d say your Permalinks aren’t working. Check that page for troubleshooting tips.

    In particular, confirm with your host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are both on and enabled.

    Thanks – I’m not sure what all of that is, but I’ll look it up and give it a try. Thanks!

    What it means is that, unless your web host has enabled the use of mod_rewrite, then using the “pretty” URLs will not work.

    Right. I’m assuming you might be referring to the site in your profile?

    Try visiting Options -> Permalinks and changing them back to Default.
    Do links now work?
