  Hi. I have a site hosted on wordpress.com using my own URL. Pretty standard. I just changed the site to to use the POST configuration for Permalinks. I saved the settings and wet to the site. The URL’s for the navigation menu have changed from /page=?12 or whatever to /about.

  However, when I click the link on the navigation or go to the link mydomain.com/about directly, I get a 404 page not found.

  Could REALLY use some help on this one, thanks so much.

  This site is not hosted on WordPress.com. For help you’ll want to head over to wordpress.org/support/ or contact your hosting company.

  There are 2 versions of WordPress. What we do here at WordPress.com is quite different form the WordPress installation that you use with a hosting company. This guide outlines the main differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
