Sometimes, “Default” is really the only way to really make something work. Since I use WordPress, and it is “free” all the responsibility for making sure it works correctly falls upon my shoulders. I must do all the testing, all the modifications, and if I mess it up, then I have no one to blame but myself.
So it is with “permalinks” and changing them. I thought it would be somewhat better to change the permanent links to the articles to make them a bit more friendly (instead of just numbers), and instead, I found out that it rendered most of the blog inaccessible. I found “404 – page not found” errors on almost all the blog.
Sigh, grumble.
Convert back to “Default” link structure.
Guess I will bring it up to the authors and creators of WordPress and see what they say.
At least the blog is now accessible again.
Remember, nothing is ever actually “free.” Someone, somewhere, at some time, must bear the cost.
BTW, this goes for salvation too. It may be free for us (and it is), but it cost the Lord Jesus Christ beyond our understanding and comprehension.
Next time someone someone says something is “free,” kindly let them know that nothing is ever truly “free.”
