Please perform following tests
Check setting>reading> select static page > select the page you want as homepage.
As i see you are using NewsPaper theme
please let me know after checking this.
Static page is set to “Home” where it should be. But if I switch permalink to Post Name and leave it as static my url http://www.themajorminor.com will crash because of too many re-directs.
“Post name http://www.TheMajorMinor.com/sample-post/”
If you would like me to demonstrate I will switch permalinks.
Check .htaccess
on your website directory it could be /var/www/yourwebsite or any where you installed wordpress on (just move it beside wp-config.php
you should see in .htaccess something like`
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Now from command line you should enable rewrite_mod by typing (you need to be root)
a2enmod rewrite
and then restart apache by
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
i hope it would work
then change your permalink to default > save it, and then once again, change permalink back to Post Name
O god so much coding I’m going to F*ck up somewhere. Trying this now
Both htaccess and wp-config.php are in my webroot folder in go daddy.com file manager.
In htaccess I see the following
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
# BEGIN wtwp_cache
# END wtwp_cache
# BEGIN wtwp_security
# END wtwp_security
Do I need to add what you wrote? And between which lines. I’m a newb.
Any help? I don’t know how to do the following.

Try to disable all plugin and then reset static page and check it.. i can’t explain here as i need to check website to get exact idea of cause.
Tried that…Did not work. I tried this, and changed the “Home” permalink to http://www.themajorminor.com/ but it does not work.
I tired changing to a basic theme to see if it still does this and it does.
I tried making the “Home” page permalink to “Home” but then no posts go under “Home” even if I set it as the parent.

The problem is most likely that WordPress was unable to write to your .htaccess file. You need to make sure that this is writable. In some FTP programs this file will be hidden. There is often a setting that will let you view hidden files. If not, just start a blank text file, call it TEMP.htaccess and upload it to your server. Change it’s permissions to make it writable, and then rename it to .htaccess.
Now log back into your wordpress admin area and get back to the permalinks section. This part is important!! Don’t just re-save your current settings. Since you didn’t actually make changes, it won’t re-save. Change it back to the default, save it, and then change it to the permalinks that you want and save again.
assuming you have this correct permalink .htaccess file content and then like me it is still not working, …just add these two magic lines to the top of the file:
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
That should do the trick. If it still dosen’t work then your .htaccess is still not writable and you should contact your hosting company.
Plugin issue….For some reason when I disabled them this time it worked. I’ll try and pin it but now no posts are showing on my front page. Weird.
@agni Shukla: Due to soliciting work and excessive links to your own site in your posts, your posts now have to be reviewed by a moderator before being published in the forums.

So everything worked. It was a plug-in. but now i have a different issue. No posts from my blog will how on my front page. I already checked the plug-ins and that’s not the reason. Not sure what to do.

@asapsirris: Where did you download the Newspaper theme from?
