Title: Problems with blog Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Problems with blog * Resolved [wolfsongblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsongblue/) * (@wolfsongblue) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/) * I’m trying to set up a website with this theme, but I’m having trouble getting the blog working properly. Here is a link to the site: [http://www.firedupgeckos.com/](http://www.firedupgeckos.com/) * I want to have a static page for the homepage with the slider. Then I do not want to have the slider appear on any other pages. It looks like I have that working properly. But if you go to the “Blog” page, the slider shows back up. Is there a way to disable the slider from the blog while still having it appear on the homepage? * Also when I go to the blog, the posts seem to be appearing properly, but if I click on either of the posts to try to go to the individual post, I get a “Error 404,Page Not Found.” Do you know what is wrong? * Thank you for your help!

Probably not the best idea. Let us know how you managed to remove the slider from the other pages? * Thread Starter [wolfsongblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsongblue/) * (@wolfsongblue) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215158) * I haven’t done any custom editing (I actually just installed the latest version 1.2.9 thinking maybe it was a bug but that didn’t make any difference). * For this theme, if I go to “Appearance” and then to “Theme Options” there are options for the slider including “Enable or Not.” There I have three choices: * **Enable** – this enables on all pages **Enable in Home Page** – this is the option I have selected, which enables it on both the home page and the blog ** Disable** – this disables it from all pages * Theme Author [zenoven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenoven/) * (@zenoven) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215219) * Hi, to the slider issue maybe that is bug and I’m sorry for that. I’ll check and fix it. * And to the Error 404 issue, that is because posts got wrong URLs, ‘Testing blog’ and ‘Welcome!’ have the same URL,have a look at your settings ? * Theme Author [zenoven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenoven/) * (@zenoven) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215222) * New version(1.2.11) has uploaded and needs to be reviewed by admins, you can download and try it now in [developers tab ](http://wordpress.org/themes/zalive/developers/) * Thread Starter [wolfsongblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsongblue/) * (@wolfsongblue) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215261) * Thank you so much for you help! I downloaded the new version and that fixed the slider issue. * I’m not sure how to fix the 404 error issue. Here is what I have for settings: * I created two pages: “Welcome” and “Blog.” Then under Appearance and Customize, there is the option for “Static Front Page.” Under that, I have it set so that Front page displays a static page. I have the “Welcome” page set as the front page and the “Blog” page set as the posts page. * The blog page seems to be displaying the posts, but when I click on either of the posts, I get a 404 error saying and the url is [http://www.firedupgeckos.com/welcome](http://www.firedupgeckos.com/welcome) That is the url for the “Welcome” page, which is the page that is currently set as the homepage. * Any ideas on what I could do to fix this? Is there any chance this is a bug as well? * Thank you again for your help! * Theme Author [zenoven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenoven/) * (@zenoven) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215269) * I also created two pages in my local machine, one page set to the homepage and the other to the blog, all goes well. * [This thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-page-404-error?replies=12) reported sth similar with your, that may be helpful. * And a quick to test whether it’s a bug with the theme, just switch the theme to another such as the WordPress default one. * Thread Starter [wolfsongblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsongblue/) * (@wolfsongblue) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215294) * Thank you! That thread was helpful and so was the suggestion to test with another theme (the problem was still there with a different theme). I did figure out the problem. Here was my solution in case anyone else has a similar problem. * Under settings and then permalinks, I had set it to “custom structure” with [http://www.firedupgeckos.com/welcome](http://www.firedupgeckos.com/welcome) as the custom permalink. I don’t even remember setting it to that (but I tend to work on my projects late at night, so who knows how it happened!) Switching from “custom structure” to “post name” fixed my problem. * Thank you again for all of your help! * [Windykacja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/windykacja/) * (@windykacja) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-blog-3/#post-4215393) * I’ve got the same prblem byt I did some custom editing to the .php files. how can I remove the slider from the other pages?
