 * I was wondering if anyone can help me.
    I tried to shorten up a page permalink
   by clicking on edit beside the permalink, deleting part of the permalink, clicking
   ok and then updating the page. I was unable to view the page so I went back in
   and editted the permalink to it’s original version and it seemed to work on my
   Mac at work. However when I came home in the evening I was unable to view the
   page on my PC. I tried while logged in and from a google search. The computer
   just keeps thinking until I click out the only way to see the page is by going
   into the page edit. Here’s mt site:
 * [http://athleticabs.com/](http://athleticabs.com/)
 * The page is “Membership Options” in the nav bar. It is a parent page to several
   other pages that are show up when you hover over the nav bar link. These other
   pages can all be opened.
 * Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do?
 * Thanks
 * Scott

 * Looks like your new permalink is missing an ‘n’ at the end. Try adding that.
 * EDIT: Sorry, spoke too soon. There must be more missing than that.

 * Go to settings -> permalinks
 * Turn off the custom permalinks you currently have enabled by choosing the top
   option, click save.
 * Now try to edit the page without permalinks enabled.

 * Adding the “n” in worked. For some reason when I tried to remember what the original
   link was I could of swore there was no “n”, so I thought wordpress shortened 
   it. Apparently not.
 * Thanks guys for all your help, I’m much relieved.
