# wrong path in sidebar links

 * summary: the links returned by wp_list_pages() and wp_list_cats() suddenly stopped
   having /wordpress but still have the correct /?page_id=X.
 * the links without /wordpress (www.mydomain.com/?page_id=9, for example) all drop
   me back to my index page at root.
 * i am using the static front page plugin.
 * everything -was- working perfectly and i have no idea what caused them to stop.
 * possible causes:
    1. code. no code i wrote should have affected this and i undid
   all of it just in case. not fixed.
 * 2. my provider updated my account somewhere between me knowing it was working
   and things breaking. based on other posts, i have been in contact with them about.
   htaccess and mod_rewrite.
 * in regards to mod_rewrite: “mod_rewrite is loaded on the server.”
 * in regards to .htaccess, it exists in the root directory of my account and is
   empty. i had never touched it before, and everything was working. after this 
   unexplained break, i temporarily gave it 666 permission, but that didn’t fix 
   the problem.
 * 3. i have nothing set in my permalink options (all blank fields). based on another
   post, i tried hitting the update button for this to. nothing fixed.
 * 4. (possibly important). in the admin options, if i type something into the field
   Blog address (URI) and hit save… nothing saves! it remains blank. i’m pretty 
   sure i played with that before and was able to save data in that field, but now…
   nothing.
 * any help would be appreciated, i’ve put a full day into this (and my hosting 
   company is helping too!) and so far, nothing pans out.
 * thank you times a million…

 * 4. Check in the MySQL database whether the 2 URI values are correct. You can 
   use this tutorial to find them:

 * fixed!
    i’m still not sure why the admin screen wasn’t letting me save the field
   for the URI, but it’s working fine now.
