# Permalink Problem

 * I have made a new theme for my WP blog. It’s a child theme of Twenty Sixteen.
   It looks and works great except for one problem.Here is the site.
    [http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/](http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/)
 * I developed the new child theme off line on my localhost.My localhost does not
   like pretty permalinks so in development I use the plain permalinks:
    [http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/?p=123](http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/?p=123)
 * All of my existing posts and etc were made online with the Custom Structure Permalink:
   
   [http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/%postname%/](http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/%postname%/)
 * So now if you visit my blog and click on one of the post titles or “continue 
   reading” to go to the single post, it is not displaying correctly. It’s pulling
   old style info from the previous version child theme I was using. If I log into
   Dashboard>Setting>Permalinks and select the Custom Structure radio button and
   then save changes it reverts to having the Post Name radio button above Custom
   Structure selected. It will not allow me to select the Custom Structure and save
   that.
 * If I select the Custom Structure radio button and DO NOT SAVE CHANGES, and just
   click on visit site, then I can select an individual post and it looks/appears
   as it should. BUT when I go back to the Permalinks it has once again reverted
   back to having the Post name radio button selected and then when I visit site
   and click on individual post it is back to the bad/incorrect display.
 * I need help getting this configured so I can get that Permalinks Custom Structure
   [http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/%postname%/](http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/%postname%/)
   to stay selected on save. Thanks in advance for any help, I cannot seem to figure
   out how to get this working correctly.

 * I do not think this a problem with permalinks any more.
 * the problem is with the display of single posts. They appear as they should as
   long as I am logged in to the dashboard. When logged out the posts are trying
   to display using the previous theme.
 * I’m going to start a new thread that describes the problem and has a different
   title
