 * I seem to have a problem with the permalinks – no matter what I try, the permalinks
   work on pages but not on posts.
 * My goal is to use /%postname%/ – I’ve also tried /index.php/%postname%/ but the
   same problem continues – pages all good, posts get a server error.
 * What do I do? 🙁

 * Thanks, I’m afraid it didn’t help me much though…
    I’ve updated the htaccess 
   every time etc. Nothing seems to work.

 * Sure 🙂

 * The menu is all made of pages, but when you click on “Energy Medicine” for example,
   it has a short list of links to posts on that category (right after the first
   paragrah) – they don’t work 🙁

 * I find your site entirely setup as a static site. That way it works fine. even
   the links you mention are static links.
 * Do you want a static site + blog?

 * Yeah, it’s mostly static…
 * Thing is, my client who’ll be using this site in the future will need to upload
   new posts as articles. I don’t want her to list each item manually (right now
   I simply use this plugin – [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/)–
   that automatically detects posts under each category and updates the list on 
   the page).

 * Oops, I never recieved a notification about a new post!
 * Anyway I’m afraid the links aren’t useful to me – I still need to fix the permalinks
   for the blog, as in the future they might want to start one. Or else, have a 
   way to list all pages under the same parent, for example.
 * Anyway knows what to do? I’m getting kind of frutstrated by now 🙁

 * By the way, even when I cancel the permalinks the posts don’t work. I tried deleting
   the .htaccess but it doesn’t seem to help… 🙁
