  Hi folks

  I am using a template that I purchase called Kyte which is primary designed as a parallax HTML5 scrolling site….my client has asked me to convert the site into a standard, each section on its own URL, style site. They say that this is better for SEO….I am not so sure, but either way…i need to make this change.

  HOWEVER, when I create a new menu item it will only show up as a hashtag link – like #AboutUs rather than domain.com/aboutus – I assume there is a rule somewhere rewriting these URLs to they create scrollable links.

  Any ideas how I could revert back to the usual menu / URL style?

  thanks! TONY

  Hashtags are for Twitter so I do not know why you are referring to them at all. More to the pôint is that Kyte is a WordPress.ORG theme that cannot be used on WordPress.COM blogs like http://tonyfeatherstone.wordpress.com/

  The site your refer to is not hosted by WordPress.COM. Our support docs do not apply to any sites that are not hosted by WordPress.COM and we do not provide support for them. You are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and get advice form WordPress.ORG bloggers..

  hate to break this to you but hashtags/anchors were being used in HTML before Twitter was even thought about.

  Hate to break this to you but we do not provide support for WordPress.ORG installs here, and you are not referring to any WordPress.COM blog that you posted a URL for into this thread.

  Yes I get that part – but your comment about hashtags only being used in Twitter just shows your ignorance.

  Will post in another forum where hopefully people are more helpful.
