Front Page Loop Not Working Properly

@solidsnake2003 — There’s no need to post entire code files that could be remotely related. Just the relevant code, like how you are getting the single post links is all that’s necessary. Please re-post only the pertinent code. If you mention pertinent details about your installation, like the theme you are using, we can find supporting code ourselves.

One small nitpick. Please correctly use HTML comments. There is no final ‘!’ in comments. Correct syntax: <!-- Comment here. --> The space before or after -- is part of the correct syntax. The only reason I ask is the trailing ! confuses my syntax highlighter, making your code all that much more difficult to read. Browsers tend to be forgiving about syntax errors, my code editor is not.

Due to the highlighting issue, I could not locate the button you refer to. A link to the page in question would have helped.

My website is currently in production. Im finalizing the code for launching. Here is the code for the loop that is causing the problem.

<?php $latest = new WP_Query( array(
                'post_type' => 'post',
                'posts_per_page' => 8
            ) );

	    if ($latest->have_posts()) :
            while ($latest->have_posts()) : $latest->the_post(); ?>

The link for the h1 links to the post, but the one for the buttons_full_news class just links to the home page.

For the permalink() to work in one place and not another, something must be altering the global $post object behind the scenes. Any PHP call can result in other code being executed from just about anywhere. To narrow down the source, deactivate all of your plugins. Clear your browser cache and reload the page. If the link still does not work properly, the fault is in your theme somewhere, not necessarily your code but something hooked into it. If the link works, reactivate your plugins, one at a time. Test the link after each activation. When the link fails again, the last activated plugin is at fault.

Thank you, it solved the problem. Marking as solved.
