Whenever I try to go to a question I get a 404 page not found. I have rebuilt permalinks and it did not fix it. Also, it wont let me select the question details box when creating a question. 
Thanks

Update: Still not working. Switched to default, saved, then switched back and saved, nothing worked. I am running yoast seo as well.

Hi @halfshell,
Please rebuild the perma links after setting them to default. This should resolve the issue.
 
Best regards,

Am I alright to set them back after rebuilding them? I would rather keep my link structure of gamecannon.com/postname

Once you choose the default after the DWQA installation, you can revert back to any custom structure that you were using previously. This should solve the problem.

Hi Greg,

I have checked your site and have made a few changes, but it looks like there is some thing preventing the permanent links from taking effect even though the links do work, but when clicking on the archive page, it seems there is trouble. I suggest you remove the plugin and then disable all other pluging and then reinstall DWQA and configure it as it is now done. making sure not to keep the single question slug and the archive page slug the same! 🙂

At the moment these links are all working.

They were already set to be postname and no category. I tried rotating between the two but it still doesn’t work.

I can see that the permalinks are working just fine now, but it looks like you have lost the theme integration. You can follow the guide here to make it look like your theme: http://designwall.com/guide/dw-question-answer-plugin/#Style_integration
