 * The post link is showing as the post id and not the link which is post/title.
 * The middle column of the footers is the problem.
 * Thank you, EB

 * Hello [@eblakely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eblakely/).
 * Thank you for reaching out.
    This is related to the settings in your WordPress
   dashboard under Settings > Permalinks. Please check and make sure you didn’t 
   select in the area _Common Settings_ the first option. Starting the second option
   will show you the permalink as text and not id.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hi KS,
 * Thank you for your quick reply! 🙂
 * No it is not the permalinks. I actually rebooted them to see if it was that, 
   e.g. changed them and then changed them back with a cache deletion too.
 * Your plugin works for the first box, not the second.
 * Could it be a theme issue, cause another plugin does the same thing…

 * The post wasn’t saving the permalink change. Weird, I haven’t seen that in a 
   awhile.
 * Edited the post again and the database updated.
 * Close the ticket

 * Thank you [@eblakely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eblakely/), for your
   reply.
    I’m happy it works, now. Sometimes computers need a “kick” to do what
   they should ;-).
