 * I’ve been having issues with my wordpress site that started this week.
    Let me
   say, I DID NOT change the permalink struture before this started happening.
 * I could not preview my posts or view them after they were posted.
 * I noticed today in the admin mode my posts were using the ?p=512 (default) permalink
   structure however my settings were for date.
 * I change the permalink struture back to the default and now I can view my posts
   in admin mode and in normal mode.
 * I’m not a big fan of this type of permalink but atleast I have some functionality.
 * Now my big issue is that ANY post I make will not not show up as a recent post.
   It shows up at the bottom of my posts.
 * Any ideas?
 * Also, I cannot switch back to any permalink structure but the default otherwise
   I cannot look at my posts.
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.
 *  – [renaming the plugins folder via FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
