 * There’s something drastically wrong with permalinks. Have tried th evarious options
   to see what works best and now I’ve ended up with a load of junk in my posts 
   table.
 * – most alt_link_text entries are NULL but many have post_titles
 * – most post_names entries show previous post names even though they have been
   changed during site build.
 * – many post_names are numbers, some are text other have crap like %e9%98%bf%e7%
   83%8f%e7%89%b9%e6%88%91%e5%80%91-about- the guid’s are a mix of formats – some
   have page_ids others do not.
 * – quite a few post have show_in_menu=0 – don’t know why
 * I disabled revisions and autosave so all the above are valid pages.
 * I don’t know whats wrong but it looks like there is something well screwy with
   2.9.1

 * Have you created and uploaded a .htaccess file to support the permalinks?

 * Hi,
 * Reset your wordpress blog permalink to your desired permalink from wordpress 
   admin area and add this code in htaccess:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.
