 * In reader settings I have the show latest article first ticked but when I go 
   to my [blog](http://www.JoeJord.co.uk/blog) site it seems to show an older article
   first.
    Any ideas? I am running the latest version.

 * Hi Joe Jord,
 * To confirm, you’re looking at “Reading” under “Settings” in the Dashboard?
 * I see options to show “latest posts”, or “a static page”. Which option do you
   have selected?

 * Latest post! And when I go to the site via typing in the web address it shows
   a post from December.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -
   > Permalinks. If this works, then review [Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

 * I’ve deactivated all plugins
    Switched to Twenty Eleven theme No change
 * I’m not sure how to reset the plugin folder.
 * I’ve changed the permalink back to default but get a 404 error message I’ve now
   switched it to custom /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ but the site is still
   opening on the old post.
 * On the default setting it is saying [http://www.joejord.co.uk/blog/?p=123](http://www.joejord.co.uk/blog/?p=123)
   is this correct?

 * OK I’ll get onto my service provider. I’m in the UK so it will probably be a 
   while till they get back to me!

 * It seems to be working now – many thanks.
 * I think firefox and it’s catch is part of the problem!
