 * Comments worked at first, but not now. At the bottom of each post it says “Comments?”.
   Click on that and you get a 404 error message. I’m also getting 404 errors for
   a page continuation and I still can’t get the rss feed to work.
    Please, I need
   help!! Jane smallbones.ca/blog

 * I added the line in the page.php theme file, and I now get ‘0 comments’ at the
   end of each post. A step in the right direction, but unfortunately, when you 
   click on it you get a 404 error message. I still get a 404 for page continuation
   and I still can’t get an rss feed to work. For rss I tried the ‘$feed=rss’ as
   was advised in one post, but no luck. I need to get these problems fixed.
    Please
   somebody…help!

 * I answered you in other thread

 * Sorry about the 2 threads. I saw your answer & replied:
    Thanks so much for responding!
   It’s /http:/smallbones.ca/blog%year%/%postname%/- I’ve changed it a few times,
   hoping it would make the problems disappear. And I did put the code in the .htaccess
   file. How do I get rid of the double url? Do I simply remove the http:/smallbones.
   ca’ part?

 * those permalinks are whacked
 * here are allowed structures – you never input your blog address
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure)
 * admin – settings – permalinks
    select “custom” and input /%postname%/ save permalinks
 * that should work – if it does choose whatever structure you like

 * Thanks again, it’s finally working with /blog%year%/%postname%/ (I had a simple/%
   postname%/ in there before & it didn’t work!)
 * I think my only remaining problem is that I still can’t get the rss feed to work,
   though. It says “A feed could not be found at [http://smallbones.ca&#8221](http://smallbones.ca&#8221);
   no matter what put after that. (BTW, I did post this in a separate post but have
   not rec’d any replies in 3 days so I hope it’s okay to continue here. You’re 
   a great resource Samboll, and I thank you for your help.)

 * Woohoo! There were 2 lines in the config file — thank-you again, so much, Samboll!
 * Now that I’ve finally got everything working, I see there’s an update wp 2.9.2.
   I’m afraid to do it!
