Ok, after reading another person’s question who just posted, I changed the permalink style back to default and the 404 is gone (which makes sense), so I’m forgetting about those cool other options for now.
They are dead to me (pun intended)
I’ll drop/recreate the DB as a last resort, but I’m going to poke into the code first. I checked the tables, and each message is getting an ID, so the keys “seem” to be working fine. The code’s just not grabbing them. I’m only intermediate in PHP knowledge, so I will probly end up scrapping the DB in the end.
Thanks for the ideas, guys.
