 * I believe its because of the .htaccess file.
 * I have my structure set up with:
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * So the permalinks for each blog post works fine, but the links to post pages 
   can’t be found. What do I need to the .htaaccess file to fix this?
 * Thank you 🙂

 * Delete .htaccess, go to Options/Permalinks and recreate your permalink structure.

 * Right I did that- Once recreated, the “post pages” still don’t work. What could
   I have done wrong or is it a bug?

 * Try setting your rewrite rule as:
    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * If that doesn’t work, a link to your site would be very helpful.

 * That works! Thank you so very much!
 * Is there any way to not have this at the bottom of “post pages”?

 * Yep, just delete those lines in the index.php file of your template.
 * P.S. Thanks for the compliment!
