# Permalink problem?

 * I have just installed wp for the first time and have it running on my local server
   while I get to know the workings.
 * I have a plugin which should enable me to display the index page from my genealogy
   site (also on the local server)in a page within wp. The plugin reports: ‘You 
   cannot use the default permalink structure with this plugin’
 * I have created a new page to receive my localhost/genealogy/index.php
    however
   the page which is displayed by wp is localhost/?page_id=9
 * The page is not displaying the information I require.
 * The permalinks help pages have confused me, and this may not even be the area
   where I’m going wrong.
 * Is there anyone who can advise me please?
 * Many thanks

 * Have you review [Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)?
   Have you tried simply using one of the preset defaults? Personally I use the 
   day-month option on all of my sites.

 * I’ve read the review several times today and am now more confused than before!
 * It may be that permalinks are not my problem, but I suspect I need a custom structure
   for a category called something like site_links (don’t understand how to create
   a category either!
 * All this feels like I’m missing something real simple and the harder I look, 
   the less I see!
