 * Well, my Portfolio section of the site has a link like this [http://mydomain.com/?page_id=9](http://mydomain.com/?page_id=9)
 * Is it possible to change it to [http://mydomain.com/portfolio.php](http://mydomain.com/portfolio.php)?
 * Thank you, in advance. 🙂

 * No. I mean if the Page’s title is “Portfolio” and you are using permalinks it
   will be possible to have something like
    `example.com/portfolio`

 * Well, this is what I have enabled. :S
    But isn’t that only for posts and comments?

 * If permalinks are enabled they will work for Pages, too, and the slug created
   from the title (or modified by you) will be used in the link.
    However, read 
   the Note from here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Pages)

 * I have enabled permalinks (they won’t work for pages) and the slug. For example,
   Portfolio page’s slug is _portfolio_. Do I have to change it to _portfolio.php_?

 * If they don’t work for Pages, then your .htaccess file is not writable. Did you
   follow the link I’ve posted above?

 * I did follow the link, don’t really get it though. So how do you make your .htaccess
   file writable? Is it something to do with chmodd?

 * Yes. And you can read a lot about it on the Codex, just have to [search](http://codex.wordpress.org/Special:Search?search=writable&go=Go).

 * So the .htaccess file is writable now. I updated the permalinks again. What now?

 * Now be happy 🙂
    (Go to your horizontal nav code and change the links from “page_id
   =XX” to the “slug” of the Pages.)

    Where did I mess up?

 * You have a reading problem, young man 🙂
    NO PAGE ID! just the slug… So it isn’t“
   page_id=portfolio” – just “portfolio”
