# a different permalink htaccess problem

 * I am having a big problem with my site after upgrading. Here is what is happening:
 * – I have set permalinks to Numeric (so they will be [http://www.jenleheny.com/archives/123](http://www.jenleheny.com/archives/123)
   for instance)
 * – this is the htaccess that was generated:
 * `
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * – when I try to go to [http://www.jenleheny.com/archives/123](http://www.jenleheny.com/archives/123)
   I get a page that has the correct header, sidebar etc etc. Where the post should
   be it says “Archives” as the heading and “edit”
 * – on that page the “edit” link goes to edit my actual Archives page (ie. the 
   list of all my posts – I am using SRG Clean Archives 1.5 and turning it on or
   off makes no difference) rather than for instance post 123
 * – if I put in [http://www.jenleheny.com/index.php?p=123](http://www.jenleheny.com/index.php?p=123)
   that brings up the correct post just fine but I have already told it not to do
   things that way!
 * Can anybody help me PLEASE! I have spent many hours on this and I am getting 
   nowhere.
 * thanks! 🙂
 * Jen

 * I don’t know anything about slugs – can you give me a bit more of an idea what
   might need doing? thanks

 * WOW! I did it! Thank you so much. I checked here [http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#P](http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#P)
   to find out about Post Slugs (I already knew that much) and then thought I would
   go ahead and change the slug of the Archive page anyway and see what happened.
 * Magic! I changed it from “archives” to “archiveslist” and now everything works
   the way it should.
 * I can’t thank you enough! I have spent days trying to work this out. I never 
   would have thought of doing that. Is there something that changed in the new 
   version because it used to be fine before? Any further info as to what made you
   think of that or whatever would be great so that I can learn from it. 🙂
