    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks for the response, however this didn’t solve my issue. And I have a couple, of others. Here’s what I’m trying to do:

    I have a section in my site called resources and in there I have blog called Faces of Lasers. I have set up the blog and I have Faces of Lasers as a category that my posts are categorized into. I am aiming to have the url structure for these posts look like this: http://lasers.staging.wpengine.com/resources/faces-of-lasers/roland-j-babin/ where roland-j-babin is the post name. I have got that working with the custom permalink structure. The problem is, the subnav on the post’s page is showing a full list of all of the pages in the site and the category list, and the archive list. I was hoping I could get it to look the subnav on this page: http://lasers.staging.wpengine.com/resources/faces-of-lasers/ (hosted on WPengine) but have it do it automatically like it does on the pages in the site (meaning without having to build a custom menu for the sidebar since the theme seems to generate the subnav on it’s own already).

    I am also having some issues with the Blog Posts content element. On this page: http://lasers.staging.wpengine.com/resources/faces-of-lasers/feature-stories/ I was hoping to use the Blog Posts element to display the latest post in the Faces of Lasers category. I have it set to display blog posts, I have the category set to Faces of Lasers, and I have the Post Number set to 1. It is pulling the right article. The problem is, I have it set to show the Full Content for the article, but it isn’t showing it. It shows the feature photo, a big blank space to the right of the photo, and a read more button at the bottom. I have tried changing the settings but it doesn’t do anything. On this page: http://lasers.staging.wpengine.com/resources/faces-of-lasers/ I have the same widget but with different settings because I wanted to show just the one article with just the excerpt on this page. The settings are different from the featured story page (I have it set to display blog posts with the Faces of Lasers category, just the one post, but instead of showing the full content I have it set to show the excerpt with a read more link) however the output is the same (featured photo, blank space to the right, read more link below).

    Can you help me to resolve these issues? If you need more login info please let me know and I can send in a private psot.

    Thanks,

    Brian
