 * Hello! I am using a child theme for Thematic. I am using the custom permalink
   setting /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/. For some reason, when you scroll down
   and click “older posts” I get a 404 page. I am new to customization and learning
   as I go, any help would be much much appreciated. My website is gayvorites.com.
 * Thank you, thank you!

 * I’ve tried-
 * deleting my htcassess, disabling all my plugins, changing the custom permalink
   settings to include %post_id%, every single plugin that exists, changing my reading
   settings.
 * the code in my blog template is
 *  <?php
    $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query( array( ‘posts_per_page’
   => get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ ), ‘paged’ => $paged ) ); $more = 0; ?>
 * do i have to change it to match my reading settings which are 5 posts per page?
 * please someone help! I’d be so thankful!
