# Extra code in comments links

 * I had originally posted my WordPress site in a separate folder, entitled “blog”(
   making the URL blog.justmoody.com). I liked WP so much I decided to merge the
   blog site with my regular site.
 * I followed all of the instructions on how to transfer WordPress over, and it 
   worked great, with one exception. The links used to allow people to leave comments
   are like this:
 * justmoody.com/http:/www.justmoody.com/category/post-name
 * Because of this, it goes to a page that says “Oops! Your link doesn’t work.” 
   You can’t view any of the older links that were there as well.
 * Any idea how to pull the first part of that link off?

 * At Settings/Permalinks in your admin panel, what do you have for “Common settings,”“
   Category base,” and “Tag base?”

 * Hi James, that was it.
 * I had it as /http:/justmoody.com/category/post-name
 * I changed it to /category/post-name
 * That fixed the extra code, but the comments are still not working. It’s refusing
   to fill in the category and post name information, whereas the other pages are
   fine. If I change the permalinks back to default, everything works fine. I’d 
   prefer to have the “prettier” titles, but if I can’t get it, I’ll just deal.
 * Any ideas?

 * Those aren’t permalink structure tags. Try this instead:
 * `/%category%/%postname%`
