 * Hi – an odd one here.
 * When I tun on permalinks I’m getting and odd error. I have changed my permalinks
   to %postname% (for example)
    Say I click on “postname-a” it redirects correctly
   to ‘mysite/postname-a’ – no probs
 * the lext click on ‘postname-b’ however goes to mysite/postname-a/?p=xxx
 * not mysite/postname-b as expected.
 * Anyone have any ideas – the site is elementaluk.com, however I’ve had to turn
   permalinks off until I can resolve it.
 * Cheers,
    Zander

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

 * Thanks – you’re right – it seems to be a theme specific problem – could it be
   something to do the handmade menu consisting of relative rather than absolute
   links??

 * That certainly won’t help. You should always use absolute urls in WP.
