 * Hi
    Im having problem with my wordpress web site.. I will start by saying I know
   very little about permalinks.. On my site I always used the “post name” permalink
   setting but now for some reason the links have suddenly started crashing…only
   home page loads up.. however if I set the permalinks settings to “default”.. 
   it works fine again well why dont I use “default” I hear you ask! well Ive already
   made pages for clients to view work that will not work if I use “default”. my
   site is a purchaced theme and came with “post name” set one last thing when my
   site pages crash …I set back to permalink setting “default” and then change back
   to “post name” it works fine for a day or so then crashes again..
 * hope you not as confused as I am!!
