 * Hello everyone,
 * I changed my front page to a static front page, and made a new page for posts(
   using Reading settings). The problem is that my posts page isn’t functioning 
   properly. When I attempt to visit that page, I simply see a blank page (not the
   blog’s template) with this on it:
 * Index of /blog
 * Parent Directory <– this is a link back to the main site
 * You can see it live here: [http://www.japneetkaur.com/blog/](http://www.japneetkaur.com/blog/)
 * I looked around for people with similar problems and most people’s problems were
   that posts were not showing up on that page, but my page isn’t showing up altogether.
   Not sure how to resolve this. I switched over to the Twenty Fifteen theme to 
   make sure it’s not my theme causing issues, and the same thing happened while
   I was using that theme.
 * I’m currently using the theme Graphy. I’d be happy to provide any other information,
   just not sure what’s helpful.
 * Thank you!

 * Change your permalinks to default and see what happens.
 * Settings>permalinks

 * Wow, that worked! Thank you!
 * Why, though? Does this mean that I won’t be able to use custom permalinks at 
   all?

 * Set it back to and try it! When you save the permalinks option it writes the 
   proper code to the htaccess file. When you use defaults it doesn’t need or use
   the htaccess file. Sometimes it gets messed up and needs rewriting so I could
   have asked you to simply re-save the settings you had. If it works still please
   mark this resolved.
