 * Interestingly, while mysite.com/contact is failing, when I stick the index.php
   in the middle, and reload the page as mysite.com/index.php/contact, page is working.
 * Why do I have to leave with the /index.php/ pathinfo?
    That beats me.

 * I’ve read, and relying on what I read/understood, I took the chance and update
   my permalink structure from the default p=123 to day/name.
 * I chose the day/name, then I removed the index.php from the suggested /index.
   php/%year%/… structure and saved it.
 * All my page url’s changed from /page_id=whatever to /pageslug.
 * For example, now I do have a good looking url for the contact page that is mysite.
   com/contact
 * except, I get 404.
 * I cannot get to my pages anymore. All of the good looking URLs end up with a 
   404. How can I flush/update the permalinks structure?
 * On this page, ( [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)),
   there is a section that talks about this;
 * Permalinks to pages don’t work
    If you’ve tried to navigate to a newly created
   Page and encounter an error, you likely need to update your Permalink structure.
   Remember, each time you add a new static Page to WordPress, new rules must be
   generated and updated to .htaccess (WordPress 1.X) or to the internal rewrites
   array (WordPress 2.X).
 * The link titled “update your Permalink structure. leads to [http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks_Options_SubPanel](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks_Options_SubPanel)
   but that does not give much!
 * Basically, I got stuck with 404.

 * You are right on the money this time.
    I did it for all my pages! and “leave 
   a reply” box is gone.
 * thank you.
    but my urls are still pointing site.com/?page_id=6
 * Isn’t by default, wordpress page urls supposed to be site.com/pageNameHere ?

 * But neither the add page nor the edit page interfaces give me a chance to set
   the page link. It’s all automatic.
