 * From Settings, I clicked on the Custom field to activate PostName. When I saved
   the changes the dot moved to SamplePost above. I thought I could make it stick
   by changing the Permissions from 644 to 777 on my Browser Cpanel. This didn’t
   work. Where do I go from here. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
    Here 
   is the link showing what i’m about…[http://pkhabele.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php](http://pkhabele.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php)

 * What exactly are you entering in the custom structure?
 * If you’re only entering `/%postname%/` the dot is switching to the Post Name 
   preset instead because it’s exactly the same, you don’t need to enter a custom
   structure for that.

 * O.K.Thanks. If it it the same, I’m wondering why my Contact Us and About Us
    
   pages come out as shown below. How do I get these to appear clearly as extensions
   of the URL showing the exact page name on the address bar?

 * The first one is what you see when you preview the page, no matter what your 
   permalink structure is.
 * The second one is what you’ll see when the page is published.
