 * I imported some blog posts from another site that is being merged with ours. 
   I see the full posts in the database, but when I click on the summary link for
   each, I get a 404. I have the permalink set to postname, but if I change it to
   default, I can get to the full post in url. If I go in postname, 404. What do
   I need to do to get the posts to be referenced by name?

 * If that works, then try reading [Using_Permalinks ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   before setting a custom permalink structure again.
 * If clearing your Permalinks does not alleviate the issue, this could be attributed
   to anything from a web server configuration to a bad WordPress install.

 * Thanks Tara. At first when I reset a custom plugin, it seemed to work. Now it
   doesn’t. How can I see if the issue is bad install or server config?

 * OK, so it looks like this was due to the original author’s declaration of the
   Products post type (pasted below). I created a different implementation based
   off of Googling some examples (further below), but the only problem is one product
   type doesn’t work. Is there something amiss in what I did further below? In the
   original implementation, the add_rewrite tags are what kills the blog functionality.
 *     ```
       add_action('init', 'products_post_type');
   
       function products_post_type()
       {
       	global $wp_rewrite;
   
       	$labels = array(
       		'name'					=> 'Products',
       		'singular_name'			=> 'Product',
       		'add_new'				=> 'Add New',
       		'add_new_item'			=> 'Add New Product',
       		'edit_item'				=> 'Edit Product',
       		'new_item'				=> 'New Product',
       		'view_item'				=> 'View Product',

       		'not_found'				=> 'No Products found',
       		'not_found_in_trash'	=> 'No Products in the trash',
       		'parent_item_colon'		=> ''
       	);
   
       	register_post_type('products', array(
       		'labels'				=> $labels,

       		'hierarchical'			=> true,
       		'menu_position'			=> 20,
       		'supports'				=> array('title', 'editor', 'custom-fields', 'revisions', 'page-attributes', 'thumbnail'),
       		'rewrite'				=> false
       	));
   
       	// Manually create Products rewrite rules without slug in URL (by default WordPress will prepend all URL's with custom post type's slug)
       	$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%products%', '(.+?)', 'products=');
       	$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('products', '%products%', array('ep_mask' => EP_PERMALINK));
   
       	/*echo '<pre>';
       	print_r(get_option('rewrite_rules'));
       	echo '</pre>';*/
       }
