I've solved the problem. I logged onto my MySQL admin page at my ISP and looked at the individual tables in the Wordpress database. One of the tables is called "wp_options" and one of the entries in that table is entitled "site url". This had a value of " http://www.steveunsworth.co.uk/PAW_blog/?page_id=2";. I manually removed "?page_id=2" from the end of the field and everything now works. Brian pointed out the "?page_id=2" in one of the URLs and I knew that the various options had to be stored in the database somewhere, so it was a question of finding the table and then looking at the various records. I think Wordpress appends the individual pages to the value contained in "site url", and of course with the value before I updated it none of them existed, hence the broken blog. The problem was that I couldn't get into the Wordpress admin panel to amend any of the settings - hence I had to do it by hand. Thanks again, hope that made sense. Steve On 15/6/08 16:21, "R.
