Still working around this issue.
Meanwhile, I discovered why the “articles” link kept turning up the server directory.
Since the wp pages don’t end with an extension, when domain.com/articles is typed into the browser, it served up the directory called “articles” instead of the page called articles.
So, to work around this, the htaccess file now has 301 redirects.

But – during my attempts to fix this, I turned the permalinks to default, logged out, then logged back in and turned the permalinks back to “%postname%” – now my index page is showing “index.php” instead of “domain.com” without the index.php after – it wasn’t doing that before.

So, one good thing about this is I’m learning more than I wanted to about permalinks and htaccess.

While still trying to figure this out, I did figure out why I wasn’t getting a 404 error page: I had not identified the posts page. Apparently if you have a static home page, you must also identify the posts page for the 404 to work. I created a new page for posts, but excluded it from the navigation (wp_list_pages, using page ID#) until it’s desired.

the permalinks issue is still annoying and I do hope there’s a fix soon.

I’ve read the codex regarding page.php template. I understand about making a page.php template. But it is not clear to me how to make a two column Page, so content would automatically flow into a second column. In other words, if I want to limit the height of the content area on a Page and continue the content horizontally into a second column, how would that be accomplished? Would that work automatically if I used a table?

Another scenario: two separate divs for different content -on a Page. I understand that I would create two different divs in the Page template, but what code will bring the content into the second div? I read about query_posts, so would this be an example of when to use that: like query_posts('pagename=secondcontent') ?

What about the Include Page plugin – would this be an easier way for a non-tech person (client) to change content in a multi column layout?

I’m not a programmer, but I can learn quickly from examples, so if you can point me to templates that do this, that would be great.

Thank you for educating me.

I have the same problem. Using 2.3.2. Insert an image and if I leave it alone, all is well. As soon as I change the alignment, it’s gone. I look at the code and it adds a height and width of 1 as you see below:

<a rel="attachment wp-att-14" href="https://localhost/testblog/?attachment_id=14" title="Vincent"><img border="0" align="right" width="1" src="https://localhost/testblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/vindec07.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Vincent" height="1" /></a><img border="0" align="right" width="1" src="https://localhost/testblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/vindec07.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Vincent" height="1" />

This is very annoying and I hope this is fixed soon.
I guess I’ll downgrade for now so I can continue to work.

I’m having a similar problem with getting the attachment.php page to show images. I’ve tried all sorts of code from other attachment.php samples. The page will show the image only when I’m logged in. When logged out, I get a “None Found” message.
I don’t know where to fix that post_parent entry in the database. So for now I’ve got no linking on my images. I’d sure like to know how to get this to work. It’s not critical right now because I’m still playing with WordPress, but it will become an issue if this isn’t fixed.
