    Hello, I am new here and not sure this is the proper place to post this question. Actually I have two questions. I recently finished viewing Chris’ tutorials on designing and integrating a website powered by WordPress. I made a site very similar to the one Chris did for Kailin Yong. I have run into two problems I can’t seem to resolve.

    1. I have the current site at http://lukelizalde.com/wp/ and when you click on any of the other pages, ("ABOUT" for example), all I get is…

    "Not Found

    The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

    2. I can’t get my little frillies to show up on the headers. For example "Next Upcoming Event" should have a star flanking the left and right of it. I imagine it has something to do with the js file. The image path is not being read correctly?

    I appreciate any and all input.

    the 404’s is an issue with your permalinks – you need to make sure your .htaccess file is all set up nice so it can re-write your URLs.

    number 2 the path to the image is… http://lukelizalde.com/wp/images/right_frill.png

    Thats probably because you are linking to /images/right_frill.png – and you probably have stored your images in your template folder… so it should really be something like this:

    http://lukelizalde.com/wp/wp-content/th … _frill.png

    To make the site fill in that part auto you can use the bloginfo(‘template_url’); which will return your template url…

    <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/right_frill.png

    Thanks for the help Rob. I got the frillies to work. Now I am trying to figure out my permalinks. I’ll let you know when I figure this out.

    Thanks,

    I got my pages to link again. I went into WordPress and changed the Permalinks section to "Default" it was on "Month and Name". WIth it back on Default all my pages are showing up. When it was on "Month and Name" I had the following code in my .htaccess file…

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Thanks again for your help Rob I appreciate it.
