 * Using WordPress verison 2.9.2 and Theme is: Arjuna X.
 * We’re developing the following blog: [http://www.acgdevelopment.com](http://www.acgdevelopment.com).
 * We’re not able to use any other permalink format than the default ([http://acgdevelopment.com/?p=123](http://acgdevelopment.com/?p=123)).
 * We would like to be able to use “Custom Structure” ([http://acgdevelopment.com/sample-post](http://acgdevelopment.com/sample-post)),
   e.g. [http://acgdevelopment.com/about](http://acgdevelopment.com/about). Using
   this format we think makes it far easier to identify pages. Who remembers what“/?
   p=2” is? It’s much easier to see “/about”
 * When we try to use the “Custom Structure” and apply “Read More” to a post, we
   receive an error “Page not Found”. In the IE address field the following URL 
   appears: [http://acgdevelopment.com/http:/acgdevelopment.com/sample-post/](http://acgdevelopment.com/http:/acgdevelopment.com/sample-post/)
 * Is this a know issue? How do we solve it?

 * Tried to follow the suggestions in the link. Everything looks ok except for when
   one clicks “read more” in an article on the homepage. Then an error occurs and
   the following address is in the address bar:
    [http://acgdevelopment.com/sample-post/#more-136](http://acgdevelopment.com/sample-post/#more-136)
 * In custom structure we tried to put in just /sample-post. Also tried to put in/%
   category%/%post name%/. Then we get the error 404 and the address bar reads: 
   [http://acgdevelopment.com/category/post-name/](http://acgdevelopment.com/category/post-name/)
 * Suggestions?

 * You’ve got Apache headers, so it’s probably linux. Check your hosting control
   panel on GoDaddy to be sure.
 * Check your .htaccess file via FTP or with the GoDaddy file manager. You might
   have multiple rewrite blocks or incomplete ones. Or delete .htaccess and reset
   permalinks and make sure WP says your changes were saved and not “If your .htaccess
   was writable…”

 * The only .htaccess file I can find is in Stats and had only one line (Options
   + Indexes). Where should the .htaccess file you’re pointing to be located?
    We’ve
   also found a problem with the calendar. It appears fine when viewed from Home
   page, or any paged accessed from a button. However, when clicking on “continue
   reading” in a post, the calendar on the new page changes. The dates in the first
   line shifts one day to the left and leaves Saturday open. Any suggestions?

 * Reset permalinks: [Using Permalinks « WordPress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
 * The calendar problem is a different animal; start a new thread.
