# "Sample-page" in Permalink Structure

 * In a recent installation of WordPress I am running into something that I have
   never seen before. I have a static front page and a separate blog page for the
   site, but for some od reason, within the permalink for pages and attachment pages,
   the url contains “sample-page”.
 * So [http://yoursite.com/sample-page/page-title](http://yoursite.com/sample-page/page-title)
   is what all of the links show. I have no idea where this is coming from and have
   never experienced it before. Any advice? I have reset permalinks, disabled permalinks,
   deleted the htaccess and allowed wordpress to recreate it. All without success.
   Thanks guys!

 * The sample page is pre-built into your theme, it seems. You can delete it or 
   rename and use it for some useful page.

 * I knew that. Just as there is a sample-post page. My question was regarding why
   it is included in my permalinks for other pages etc. But as it turns out it was
   a stupid mistake on my part, I had all of my other pages set as children of this
   page. It is corrected now. Thanks.

 * well you just saved me a bucketload of troubleshooting as I just realized I had
   made the same mistake over here.. Although not sure how much of a mistake it 
   is, if you change the title of this page from sample-page or soemthing else, 
   or any page to something else wordpress should ask you also want to change the
   permalink for that page as well.
