 * I’ve been happily adding new articles to my KB and all of a sudden, none of the
   links to the KB articles work. I’ve changing and saving the Permalinks without
   success. I’ve also deactivated all but the essential plugins, again without success.
   Any ideas?

 * I’m afraid I don’t really understand what you’re describing – I’ve not heard 
   of that happening before. Could you share a link to an affected page and explain
   what you mean by this:

 * I’m sadly getting the same. This isn’t really providing a good first impression
   of the plug-in, and I was hoping this would set me up.
 * I create an article, and during the creation process, I can use the preview link
   to get to the article I’m about to publish. As soon as I publish it though, it
   adds a link to the selected category, and bringing up my knowledge base page 
   shows that. If I click it, it shows the link entered in the permalink URL before
   publishing, but it just displays an error and says it could not find the page
   I was looking for.
 * I’ve done this multiple times, and the result is the same each time.
 * I just downloaded the plug-in for the first time today since it looked like what
   I wanted, so I’m hoping we can find out why this is. I’m not going to bother 
   making more than one article until this gets sorted.
 * Also, kind of hoping there’s a way to actually shorten links with maybe some 
   kind of post ID, because yikes!

 * Did you try resaving your permalink structure?

 * The permalink structure determines the slug. If you want IDs you can set that.

 * Wow. Yeah. Never mind. That was a ridiculously simple solution. Ended up changing
   the structure instead, but works as well.
 * I did that a few days ago and didn’t think that would do it.
 * Thanks!
