    Hi. I hope you can help me with this.

    My problem is if I click on a title link (with the purpose of going to a speficic post,) it doesn’t lead to that post at all.

    So for example on my homepage http://www.cleanbibs.com/blog , if I click on the June 11 entry (2nd from the top), the browser sorts of loads, but it still ends up on the same page.

    Anyone knows what the problem could be?

    Oh..I just realized all my links don’t work! They all lead back to the main page!!!!

    I just upgraded to WP 2.2, could that be the problem?

    Thanks

    I think I have you figured out 🙂

    I noticed that some posts behave and others don’t – and I think your problem is dashes. Namely, you have (or at some point had) too many in your titles, and thus in your post slugs.

    Try this and see what happens:

    Edit the post titled “Looking For The Best Baby Sling Carrier – A Pregnancy Mission”

    Go to the post slug option on the right side of the edit page and change the slug from whatever it is now to:

    looking-for-the-best-baby-carrier-sling-a-pregnancy-mission

    Save and go back to your home page and see if the permalink works now. It should. If it does, you’ll have to go back and clean up the slugs of posts that have or had multiple dashes in them – and don’t use them in your titles any more! (ie: “Fred is a green toad – really!” is good, and “Fred is a green toad — really!” will break).

    Hi mettaangel

    Thanks a lot for giving my website problems a look — and for giving me an excellent solution to my problems!!

    I’ve just found that out as well but didn’t really know how to change the titles except by deleting the posts and reposting it again (using the date stamp!—long long process).

    Again, thank you ever so much. You’re an angel!
