 * I’ve been having a frustrating time trying to figure out my permalinks. First
   of all I was informed that my links bring up blank pages so I went to check it
   out. I noticed that when I click on the “terms and conditions” link for example
   I’m taken to this url:
 * `website.com/index.php/index.php/terms-conditions/`
 * It’s blank. It’s the same for every link except for “home” every reference to
   the home page including ones called by php in the template take me to:
 * `website.com/index.php` this url is also a blank page, but if I remove the index.
   php from the end in the address bar the homepage comes up properly.
 * I’ve been going around and around trying different styles of permalinks, I even
   once tried to change the site url under general and had to go into the database
   to fix it.
 * One thing I should mention but don’t know if it’s related is that I tried to 
   upgrade my version of WordPress to the latest one and it told me that I was running
   PHP4 on my host (Yahoo). So I went into the admin on Yahoo and changed it to 
   5. Yahoo says I’m running 5 now but WordPress still claims I’m running 4 and 
   won’t let me update. I don’t think I hd the problem with the homepage link until
   I upgraded to PHP 5.
 * Please, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

 * Have you tried:
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
    – 
   deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
