# permalink issue(s)

 * I’ve created a simple theme for my first WP site and I’ve run into a problem.
   I built the entire site locally, and then transferred the local files over to
   template files. Everything works perfectly fine EXCEPT for the link in my custom
   html/css menu bar. I know I can’t just link to the template file so I’ve turned
   to permalinks. I changed the permalink settings to display the year/month/postname,
   but when hard-coding the permalink into the template file (ex: [http://localhost/mysite/2011/04/about](http://localhost/mysite/2011/04/about)(
   or contact or blog etc etc)) This is NOT working. I’ve tried various methods 
   but nothing seems to work. I’ve also seen tutorials that mention edits to .htaccess
   but I don’t know anything about that so I’m anxious about messing with that.
 * If anyone understands the problem that I’m having, I would deeply appreciate 
   any feedback and help. I’m stuck!
 * Thank you.

 * Have you tried using the built in menu builder?

 * I haven’t, only because I’m on a little bit of a time crunch. Good link though,
   I’ll check it out. HOWEVER, I would still appreciate any feedback regarding my
   posted problem! Thanks 🙂
