Hi Chris,

I enabled the archives page, however when I go to Manage Pages, the archives page is not listed in my list of pages. It doesn’t exist.

Could you tell me what I need to do make the page?

Thank you.

As Brian stated above, I cannot find the “Post Slug” option either to create my About page. I have also tried everything but editing the .htaccess thing. I am not that advanced. I did get the Archive page to not show a 404 but I just can’t get the About page to work. Any other suggestions. Using WP 2.5
Thanks,
Mike

Hi.
New. Installed wp 2.5. Read posts about Archives, About and Permalinks. Attempted all suggestions except .htaccess. At some point I’m told wp “will generate the code” to put into .htaccess, but there is no description of how to generate said code.

I’m using categories and pages in the sidebars and can’t yet think of a way to work around an “archive” and an “about” page.

Perhaps there needs to be a little looky see into getting this shtuff to work in 2.5?

Thanks a mucho for all the work though. I don’t know a thing and I’ve got something up.

I have really given the Write>Page the once over twice, and DO NOT see any trace of “Post slug” field to input ‘about’, and thereby generate an about page.

After you create the “Archives” page or the “Sitemap” page from the “Manage/Pages” area of the administration area by clicking “Create New Page,” be sure to select the PULL DOWN MENU that is called “Page Template” from the right hand side of the interface. Here, three selections are hidden: Default Template, Sitemap, and Archives. BEFORE you hit publish or save button, SELECT ONE OF THESE ENTRIES. Of course, name your page “Archive” or “Sitemap” and fill in the post slug info with “archive” or “sitemap.” If you select “archives” with this menu, the “Page” that you create will use the Archives Template document and create the page properly.
