  I’ve been adding a lot of legacy posts from my old static site to my WordPress.com site today. The last two posts are returning 404s, even though the “All posts” lists in the Dashboard has them listed as published and I can edit and save them just fine. I just can’t view them!

  The posts are:

  http://robinmassart.wordpress.com/2002/07/01/camden-town/

  http://robinmassart.wordpress.com/2002/12/01/pi-squaring-the-circle/

  I don’t want to add more posts at this point in case I am wasting my time.

  Thanks for any help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That is strange.

  http://robinmassart.wordpress.com/2002/06/ (note the date) shows when one clicks your June 2002 archive but the page title says ” Monthly Archives: July 2002 ” and there is an excerpt of the post. That leads to a 404 error.

  The other post also as an excerpt on the November 2002 link but is titled as December.

  Try copying the html and pasting into a plain text file. Delete the old post and see if that gets rid of the odd archive link. Then paste into a new post. May could be that will work???

  Hi 1tess,

  Thanks for pointing that out. I have edited the posts of the date and that seems to have fixed it.

  Thanks for your help.

  Regards,
  Robin
