Hi,
All links to an individual posts are not working, including the “Continue Reading” link and the link from the article title on the home page. I changed the default Permalink Setting – I know that shouldn’t cause a problem, but perhaps it has. Yesterday evening the links were all leading to a 404 page. Today they’re leading to a Page (not to the Post).
In the future, I’d like to use different default Permalinks (i.e., 2014/Winter/ now, then 2014/Spring, 2014/Summer, etc.). Is this possible?
My site is http://www.activewomantraveler.net.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks!

December 11, 2013 at 7:24 pm #18179AnnieMemberThanks, Sakin. I had changed the permalink structure, which seemed to be a viable option. Perhaps I’m stuck with the default permalink structure.
April 4, 2014 at 6:39 am #24148drshentoMemberSakin, Annie is wanting exactly what I am after. I have an individual Post that I want a different permalink for, but not changing the permalink on other posts. This is not to change the permalink structure, but it would be like having a second “Custom structure” that would only affect one Post.
My Custom Structure now has /bio added so it reads simplewithatwist.ca/bio
I can highlight the Permalink in a post and then use Google “Inspect element” and get to:
<span id=”sample-permalink” tabindex=”-1″>http://simplewithatwist.ca/bio</span>
Then use “Edit as HTML” and change it to:
<span id=”sample-permalink” tabindex=”-1″>http://simplewithatwist.ca/interior-design</span>
It changes on the screen, looking like I have changed the permalink for that post, but when I “Update” it is back to the original.What Annie and I want is to be able to change it for an individual page.
April 4, 2014 at 2:40 pm #24180SakinKeymaster@Annie: The permalink structure of WordPress is stored in `.htaccess’ file. This falls under file permission in your server. 644 is normally required and recommended file permission for .htaccess file. So, if you can contact your hosting server support and change the permission to .htaccess file then the changes in “Settings => Permalinks” will work. Otherwise, you have to manually add structure in .htaccess file.
Permalink is not controlled by theme. It is controlled by Server and WordPress settings. See more details about Permalink and .htaccess file here http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
