 * Hi
 * I have created a site with pages and posts. I added the permalink plugin so my
   URLs are not random ? and numbers etc.. my pages work fine but my blog posts 
   URLs seem to duplicate.. So when I go to my blog, the url is [http://www.mydomain.com/blog](http://www.mydomain.com/blog)
   and when I then click on one of the ‘posts’ (which I named ‘testing) I get a 
   404 error as the URL says: [http://www.mydomain.com/http:/www.mydomain.com/testing/testing](http://www.mydomain.com/http:/www.mydomain.com/testing/testing)
 * I cannot get it to work. Can anybody recommend anything? My custom permalink 
   structure is [http://www.mydomain.com/](http://www.mydomain.com/)
 * I also noticed that I cannot upload images to my Media Library and when I install
   a ‘breadcrumb trail’ it says Blog > About etc, rather than Home > About
 * Any assistance would be much appreciated as I’m pulling my hair out trying to
   figure out what is wrong.
 * Many thanks

 * 1. I’m not familiar with that plugin…have you read:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)?
 * 2. Can you be more specific about what happens when you try to upload images?
 * 3. Is it a plugin? If so, there must be a way to set ‘blog’ to ‘home’.
 * Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
