Thanks for your help anyway Esmi.
I’ve tried rewriting the .htaccess again and it’s not working. I can get absolutely any permalink I want with the sole exception being %postname%. Is there anything I can do to find out why this isn’t working?
Or better yet, has anyone got a quick fix for this?
Thanks
Just tried turning off all plugins and changing the theme but none of that’s causing the problem. I keep getting site.com/31/31 for the test post url.
I only have one plugin installed so far which I doubt would be clashing with the coding.
.htaccess file is writeable and set up so I don’t know what else it could be.
