   1- can you disable all your plugins and check if you're still experiencing the problem?
   2- Are you getting this problem when you are hitting the category url's, such as http://www.yourwebsite.com/news/ where news is your category slug?
   3- Check your permalinks to confirm that they are still correct and valid (hit save to force a write to the database just in case).

   Hi Patv!

   1 - Yes I disabled all of my plugins and it's still occurring
   2 - Yes, it's still happening when I hit the category url.
   3- I've checked my permalinks. I've even deleted and recreated my categories and it still will not work.

   Here's an example: http://loveandhiphopatlanta.net/love-and-hip-hip-atlanta-videos/

   From this post url: http://loveandhiphopatlanta.net/rasheeda-doesnt-care-if-you-dont-like-her-braids/

   I can see that the post's permalink isn't taking into account the category (unless this post has no category?). Your permalink structure should be /%category%/%postname%/. It seems that your structure is simply /%postname%/

   Can you confirm what the permalink structure is in your WordPress setup?

   I'm using the postname permalink structure. When I change it to /%category%/%postname%/ my categories work, but then none of the links to my post will work.

   *sigh*

   Well you'll need to use /%category%/%postname%/ to get the category pages working.

   As for the post links not working, I'll admit I've never seen that before. Can you provide me with the following information:

   -the code used to retrieve the post listings and display their url (are you using the_permalink).
   -The URL generated that includes the category but that isn't hitting the post correctly.

   Any luck fixing this? I'm having the same problem as of this morning.
