# the_permalink template

 * Hi,
 * I have a specific front page (custom template). Part of a content is static and
   at the end I show last three posts from category “news”. I also have a archive
   page where I collect all posts from a category “news”. My problem is “the_permalink”.
   Every time I click on a title (permalink) it always calls a front page (index.
   php).
 * How can I define which template should be used when permalink is clicked? For
   example if user clicks on a post title (permalink) show this whole post in a “
   post_template.php” file.
 * It is urgent, this site should already be published and this is the only this
   that holds me back. Thanks
 * _[please [don’t bump](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping) – 
   rather post more information such as a link to the site.
    if it is really urgent,
   consider to post a job, for instance at [http://jobs.wordpress.net/](http://jobs.wordpress.net/)]
