 * Why dont “pretty links” work with Awake theme? Every time I try to change the
   permalink to a custom link it locks me out of the dashboard and my site redirects
   to a 404 page.
 * After days of messing with it I discovered that when I try to create a custom
   link it automatically adds a web.config file to my server under my root and then
   brings down my site.
 * [http://www.flexfeelistings.com](http://www.flexfeelistings.com) – right now 
   it is working because I dont have custom links enabled.
