Sorry, you just moved beyond my knowledge level. Child? How would I know?

I installed WP, looked for the default theme (which I have used before), it was there, so I chose it.

I am using: WordPress Default, ver. 1.6, by Michael Heilemann.

Somewhat solved: After another round of inquiries to my host, I am getting a better result. Thanks to those of you that kept me banging on the same door!

HOWEVER, I still have one issue (or maybe this is by design): The permalinks for the posts on the system now read, as desired, “www.hostname.com/post-name.htm” BUT the same result is not being obtained for page names. I am getting “www.hostname.com/page-name” as the link, but I would prefer to have the “.htm” part added, too. Is it possible to have the “.htm” shown as part of a page permalink, or does WordPress just treat posts and pages slightly differently for permalink purposes?

Thanks again,

-Danny.

I appreciate the advice, but the problem is persisting. None of the permalink options selectable from the Admin menu work except the default. And, the only one of the suggestions made thus far that works is the use of “/index.php/%postname%” as a custom permalink.

I’ve checked the .htaccess file and is is clearly being rewritten when I change the options from the menu but, as noted, the only option to generate a change is the default or the one instance of the custom option above. What I would like to have is a permalink consisting of just the postname or, perhaps, “postname.htm” but neither of those seem to work when I insert the appropriate code into the custom entry.

And, yes, I’ve spent a great deal of time reading the relevant Codex sections on permalinks, but I cannot seem to make this work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

-Danny.

Actually, I’d prefer that users have access to both blogs without having to login more than once, if that is possible.
