  Hi,

  I am getting the following when I click in the ‘Contact Us’ page of my blog. Why? I was editing via ‘ScribeFire’ for the first time.

  Not Found

  Hi, yes. I should have mentioned that I followed the instructions and it worked beautifully… for a couple of weeks until I decided today to use ScribeFire and wanted to add an image to said page… then it all turned to custard. if you look at the code, it looks fine in the Dashboard/Pages view, but doesn’t translate when it is Published and live.

  Okay so you have a scribefire issue. Is this setting enabled on your blog > Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

  What’s the slug of your contact page? According to your menu it’s “for-example”. Is that the page in question, or are you using a custom menu and created a new contact page but forgot to update the menu?

  that is my other problem. I can’t seem to update the “for-example” text. the page should be entitled “Contact Us”. Yes, this is the page that has the problem. I will also try and apply the changes suggested by timethief and re-post result. Thanks :)

  I went into Reading Settings and changed the Post Page to my “Services” page and now the problem has moved to that page and my “Contact Us” page is fine. Sigh!

  a) Page title and page slug are two different things: the title is what a visitor sees on your actual blog page, the slug is what the URL of the page includes.

  Go to Pages > All Pages, hover under the page title, click Quick Edit, change the text in the Slug field, click Update. Note: if you type more than one word, the words must be joined by dashes (as in “for-example”).

  b) If you’ve set “Services” as your posts page, then the message that’s showing up means you haven’t published any posts yet, so your posts page has nothing to display.
