My b2evolution Version: 2.x

I recently imported my blog from WordPress to b2evolution. The permalinks haven't wanted to work for the posts that imported but I figured I was doing something wrong. However, I just posted to my blog and the permalink for the new post isn't working either.

I get this message:

404 Not Found
The resource requested could not be found on this server! Powered By LiteSpeed Web Server

My blog is http://www.alittlechaostheory.com

Can someone help me?

Yup.

We really need a sticky about this but oh well. Your server can't make pretty URLs. Go to "Blog settings -> pick a blog -> URLs" and select all the options that look like that have stuff like "?this=that&foo=bar" instead of any option that makes a URL look like folders.

I think there is something in sample.htaccess that you could put into your .htaccess file that will try to convince your server to do pretty URLs, but I don't play with that much because my server makes pretty ones without issue.

You can try this or follow this link to permalinks.
http://manual.b2evolution.net/Appearance_of_my_permalinks

The default permalinks in b2evolution look something like:
http://www.yoursite.com/blogs/index.php?title=post_title&c=1&tb=1&pb=1&more=1

You can change this behavior to something cleaner by going to the backoffice under the Blog Settings > URLs tab. There you can choose different link formats. For example:
http://www.yoursite.com/blogs/index.php/2003/05/20/post_title

On the Settings|General tab you can also set different "Permalink type" options which determine whether your links are referenced by their database ID or by the title.

Also, by installing b2evolution at the root of your website -- without using a blogs folder -- your permalinks would show like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/2003/05/20/post_title
