No, the tab just shows “Lark Rise” when I try a non default permalink structure.
I have no other rewrites going on. AskApache RewriteRules Viewer reports

> Not using permalinks
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Not using mod_rewrite permalinks

All WordPress RewriteRules is empty.

Have disabled plugins, gone to default WordPress theme and the issue with changing permalinks still exists.

Weird or what?!

@iridiax: Thanks..the thing is that the .htaccess file reflects the chosen permalinks and when I have the default setting the file looks like this:

“# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress”

so surely the .htaccess file can’t be the isssue??

@hotkee: tried /archives/%post_id% but no change. I wonder how far I need to deconstruct the blog to get back to something that works. Changing the theme did not do the trick. I will have to keep with the default permalinks but it is such a puzzle. I am really grateful for your engagement with this…maybe someone else will have another idea.

the .htaccess file is reading:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Ok, removed all the widgits, but no change! Thanks a lot for your support…don’t know how I am going to resolve this…guess just put up with the default permalinks.. but it keeps niggling me!

OK, the full sidebar.php is below. I have contacted the theme supplier (yes, I did pay for this) & he assured me that this was not a theme issue! I tried a default WordPress theme but did have the same issue.

<div id="Sidebar">
  <div id="Sidebar-in">
    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
    <?php /* Creates a menu for pages beneath the level of the current page - Thanks K2 Theme*/
		if (is_page() and ($notfound != '1')) {
			$current_page = $post->ID;
			while($current_page) {
				$page_query = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_status, post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '$current_page'");
				$current_page = $page_query->post_parent;
			}
			$parent_id = $page_query->ID;
			$parent_title = $page_query->post_title;

			if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_status != 'attachment'")) { ?>

	<!-- list Sub Pages-->
    <h2><?php echo $parent_title; ?> <?php _e('Subpages','k2_domain'); ?></h2>

<ul>
      <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='. $parent_id); ?>
    </ul>
    <?php } } ?>

	<!-- list Categories-->
    <h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>

<ul>
      <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
    </ul>
	<!-- list Archives -->
    <h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>

<ul>
      <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
    </ul>

@hotkee done (thanks)

@hotkee, just starting to feel a glimmer of excitement over this! My sidebar.php looks like this (first bit at any rate):

<div id=”Sidebar”>
<div id=”Sidebar-in”>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<?php /* Creates a menu for pages beneath the level of the current page – Thanks K2 Theme*/
if (is_page() and ($notfound != ‘1’)) {
$current_page = $post->ID;
while($current_page) {
$page_query = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT ID, post_title, post_status, post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = ‘$current_page'”);
$current_page = $page_query->post_parent;
}
$parent_id = $page_query->ID;
$parent_title = $page_query->post_title;

if ($wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = ‘$parent_id’ AND post_status != ‘attachment'”)) { ?>
