 * Hello, I am creating a custom theme and having trouble displaying a post with
   single.php,
 * Here is what it looks like currently..
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php post_class('',$post_id); ?>
   
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
   
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
       <p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * It works fine as long as permalink structure is ?p=1
 * But when I change permalink to anything else then none of my future posts work
   for some reason
 * Any help is greatly appreciated.

 * Did you update your .htaccess after making the permalink change? That’s the only
   thing I can think of that would cause this.
