You can change the permalinks in the settings under permalinks. Have you tried changing it to use the post name?
Hi, yes I’ve tried that:)
Unfortunately, when I do that it just comes up blank which is the frustrating issue. I’ve changed the site back to the Max Mag theme and the content comes up fine as a post name permalink. Change back to sela-and no content comes up. The link displays, but nothing shows up on the page
You could try contacting the Sela people about this in there support forum. https://wordpress.org/support/theme/sela
Actually, digging deeper. Nothing but “defualt” will work as a permalink to show archived content. WTF!?!
I just want my links to be my links!
Well something tells me this is an error with theme.
Fair-so what should I do? Just go with another theme?
Like I said above, try contacting the theme author, that is unless you just find it easier to pick a different theme.
Just tried a different theme and that didn’t work either. So it must be something else. Bugger!
But it was working with the MaxMag theme right?
Yup. But it won’t work with multiple new themes-all different authors.
Wired. I need to get to bed. I will look more into it later tomorrow maybe.
No worries:) Thanks for even looking at it this far. Have a good night
I fixed it! It was a simple coding error made in 2012 in the .htaccess file!!!! Thanks for your help!
Great, glad I could help!
