# permalink problem with URL

 * I don’t know what I did, but a have a problem. Please help!!!
 * For some reason when you type in my URL it automatically redirects to a different
   URL at my “About Me” page.
 * When you type in: [http://www.everestresumes.com](http://www.everestresumes.com)
   it automatically redirects to: [http://www.everestresumes.com/about_everest](http://www.everestresumes.com/about_everest)
 * I think it has something to do with a permalink issue, but I can’t figure it 
   out. I backtracked through all my steps and it still did not fix the problem.
 * Because of this, I can’t find a way to view my “Home” page (even though it is
   set to a static page). I’m using Atahualpa theme, if that matters.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks in advance…

 * go to settings–>reading
 * wp-admin/options-reading.php
 * make sure you don’t have the about page selected as the front page.

 * Thanks for the response. I don’t think that’s the problem. I have the front page
   set to a static page (Home), but it’s still defaulting to the “About Me” page.
 * Anytime I try and view the “Home” page (even in my WP dashboard) it shows me 
   the “About Me” page. I even went so far as deleting that page and creating another“
   Home” page from scratch, but it still links to the “About Me” page.
 * Like I said, I think it has something to do with the Permalink, but I don’t know
   what.
 * Any other thoughts? Anyone?

 * Hi,
 * Check with the permalink settings and set to the desired one. After that add 
   this code into htaccess file and have a check with old and new posts.
 * # BEGIN WordPress
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404 RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Also disable all the plugins.
 * Remove unwanted code from htaccess file
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.
