 * I was thinking of the “return to top” option also… either, or both, would be 
   a great option if implemented.
 * I think I understand your dilemma though… if at the end of a longish FAQ, where
   the browser page will be scrolled down in order to read it all, closing it from
   down at the end of it, would just cause the FAQ to collapse back up at it’s original
   position, where the reader would probably have to scroll back up to that original
   position anyway… hm… so maybe it’s just a matter of six one way, a half a dozen
   another.
 * Thanks for doing what you can, John. All the best to you,

 * <sarcasm>Thank you for all the help to all those here on the WP Forums!</sarcasm

 * For others though, who may come up with this problem, I _was_ helped by the awesome
   support at [ProPhoto Blogs](http://www.prophotoblogs.com), who took the much 
   appreciative time with figuring out where the issue was coming from.
 * It seemed under WordPress Settings > General, all it ended up being was under
   the ‘WordPress Address (URL)’ and in the ‘Site Address (URL)’, the Site Addy 
   had –
 * [http://www.website.com](http://www.website.com)
 * whilst, the WP Addy only had –
 * [http://website.com/wordpress](http://website.com/wordpress)
 * Yep, just the missing of the ‘www.’ was what was the problem… once entered, my
   being an Admin was then somehow accepted and recognized. 🙂 Also, it cleared 
   up my ‘.htaccess’ being automatically rewritten when a change occurred, whereas
   before, it was also not doing that, but needing to update manually.
 * So, if anyone encounters this themselves, simply go and double check that both
   addresses are fully entered correctly.
 * Thank you again to the very helpful support at ProPhoto Blogs!

 * I just found [another post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-links-in-dropdown-not-honoring-pretty-permalinks?replies=1)
   in this ‘Category Widget’ tag, who also never got any help or reply back, and
   they were able to get the Category Widget to work, if they deselected the “Display
   As Dropdown” and just had the categories listed one right after another, in whatever
   area you place the Category Widget.
 * I tried that, and found that if I did uncheck the “Display As Dropdown” box, 
   that clicking on a category then took me to that Category’s entries. Which is
   all well and good, and glad that is an option, that actually works, but, it takes
   up a lot of space, that having the convenient drop down menu serves better use
   in keeping the area nice and tidy. So, for BuddhaNature, and myself, why will
   the Category Widget work in list form and not in dropdown form, and how to fix
   it so that it does work in drop down form?

 * Thank you very much, Samuel. I guess I will save myself the extra little click
   and step of marking them as SPAM then, and go straight to just deleting them.
 * Again, thank you for taking the time, and your answer. All the best to you,

 * Hi, Samuel, thank you for the quick response.
 * So, what you’re saying is, I am just wasting my time in doing the extra step 
   of marking SPAM as such in WP, because, on its own, WP is doing absolutely nothing
   in recording the information, and does nothing other or more than just simply
   deleting the SPAM does… again, outside of me doing the extra, meaningless click
   of marking the SPAM as SPAM?

 * Hi, Dion –
 * Yeah, I guess I am just unfamiliar with version vernacular 🙂 I was reading 5.2.4
   as if it was 5.2.4(0), wherein it would be greater than 5.2.17… as opposed to
   how it is to be read as 5.2.(0)4, where it would naturally be the lesser than
   5.2.17 … at least how I am concluding it 🙂
 * Any, or either, way – I am just glad that I am more updated than I thought I 
   wasn’t, and that I am able to have WP’s latest version… that’s all that matters
   to me! 🙂
 * Thanks again for taking the time to explain it to me, as well as others who might
   be as uneducated on such matters as myself, Dion.
 * All the best to you,

 *  Thread Starter [MrJPH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrjph/)
 * (@mrjph)
 * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-permalinks-not-working/#post-2082734)
 * I think I may have discovered the problem –
 * On my website’s settings, I thought I had, but turned out I didn’t, have ‘index.
   php’ included as an directory index along with ‘index.html’.
 * So, with the ‘index.php’ applied, I went back to my WP admin page, and gave it
   the default permalinks litmus test, and for the first time since I initially 
   downloaded WP at the end of April, default permalinks worked, and not only that,
   but the Calendar and Archives Widgets functioned and pulled up previous month’s
   entries. Woo-hoo! 🙂 [Fists and arms extended straight up in jubilation]
 * Then, I went back to the custom permalinks that I want to instead use –
 * `/%monthnum%/%day%/%year%/%postname%/`
 * And then the Calendar and Archives Widgets again failed to work and instead brought
   up the –
 * _Not Found
    Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps
   searching will help.
 * Argh! 🙁 So what is the problem now?!
 * I even made the permalink so it began with the month-day-year, then postname,
   as WP itself says –
 * > Starting Permalinks with %postname% is strongly not recommended for performance
   > reasons.
 * Personally, I would just like for the permalink to just be the postname, but 
   I am fine with having the post’s date before the postname – if it works!
 * So, what would be causing the Calendar and Archives to not be working now with
   that permalink structure, but work with the default permalinks?
 * Does something need to be modified in my .htaccess file? :
 *     ```
       AddHandler phpini-cgi .php
       Action phpini-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-custom-ini.cgi
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress

 * I’m sorry, alitomr, I obviously completely missed you saying that even those 
   options, for some reason do not work for you.
 * I’m sorry I’m not much help then, as I am at a loss also as to why those wouldn’t
   be working for you.
 * I would suggest maybe checking the browsers preferences, perhaps maybe you need
   to check them to enable JavaScript, and/or Java… maybe that’s what makes those
   things work.

 * I don’t know if this will do it or not (I am a newbie) but, in the top right 
   hand corner, it has a tab saying ‘Screen Options’, when you click on that, it
   drops down, and has, I am guessing has – ‘Enable accessibility mode’, click on
   that, and see if the ability to ‘Add’ and ‘Edit’ appears for you.
 * When I click on that ‘Screen Options’ tab, it says ‘Disable accessibility mode’
   for me, my thinking because I can see ‘Add’ & ‘Edit’ abilities with each widget…
   so, that is why I am guessing, and hoping, that it will say “Enable accessibility
   mode” for you, and perhaps will give you then the option to then ‘Add’ & ‘Edit’.
 * I hope it works.

 * While you are in your wp-admin page, in your sidebar along the left side of the
   page, go down to ‘Appearance’ > ‘Widgets’, on the Widgets page, in either the‘
   Available Widgets’ section at the top of the page, or, in the ‘Inactive Widgets’
   section at the bottom of the page, by clicking on either the ‘Add’ (Available
   Widgets), or the ‘Edit’ (Inactive Widgets), both are on the right hand side of
   each widget.
 * When you do that, you are taken to the edit page of that widget, and from there,
   you can choose the Widget Area that you want to place it in, and it’s position(
   if you have more than one already in that Area).
 * What, and where, your particular theme’s Primary, Secondary, etc., Widget Areas
   are located within it, you’ll have to find out for yourself, and the layout you
   have chosen within that theme, i.e., ‘sidebar-content’, or ‘sidebar-content-sidebar’,
   etc.

 * Can images be posted in these forums? I don’t see a way to do so…
 * Anyway, I was thinking and was wondering if I really didn’t upload the WP files
   to my root directory like I thought, and took a couple of screenshots of my FTP
   editor to show you, since it would make it easier to show you visually, than 
   my, I am sure failing attempt, to explain it textually here…
 * Here, I just created a test post, and included the screenshot images in there,
   asking what it is I am asking, and wondering if I may still have the WP files
   in the wrong location –
