# Portfolio Post Link Error

 * I have searched the forums and generally to see if I can work out this problem
   by myself but I am truly stuck so am hoping someone here can help me out. I am
   running the free Virtue theme on my website volksamerica.com and wanted to set
   up a portfolio page with individual portfolio posts to share information and 
   ideas.
 * Following the Virtue documentation (as best I can as the use of blocks make it
   look a little different now) I have created a Portfolio Page and my first Portfolio“
   post”. The Portfolio post was set up as an Image and the featured image shows
   on the portfolio page, as does the title and excerpt. But when you click on the
   image to see the whole post I get a Page Not Found error message as you will 
   see if you click on the image. The post url seems to follow the same string as
   for the Portfolio page itself and since the post is visible I’m lost as to why
   the link isn’t working. I read somewhere (but I can’t find that again now) on
   the WordPress support site that if you get a Page Not Found error when clicking
   on a blog post then in the Settings > Writing from the dashboard to uncheck a
   Custom Types box I think and then recheck it but I don’t have that option at 
   all when I go to the Writing setting so I am really stumped as to what to do 
   next.
 * I’m just trying to set this up with a test post before I spend time creating 
   more detailed posts that may not work. I’ve already spent hours trying to work
   this out myself so would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fportfolio-post-link-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Found the error. It was related to the permalinks. For some reason a custom structure
   was marked and it was resulting in a // appearing before the portfolio post ending,
   i.e. …./portfolio//…. . Have selected post name for the permalink setting and
   all seems to work fine now. Unless anyone is aware why with the Virtue theme 
   we should have a custom structure selected for other aspects of teh site to run
   properly (looks like all the shop items can still be added to the cart OK).
