Depends on how your permalinks are set up.
Have you read through the codex? What code are you trying to use to call the categories?

Hi,
I have left my permalinks empty(default).
I am under the impression that there should be a URL generated automatically. Am I wrong?
Care to link me to your site, and the link will not be generated unless there is a call for it someplace on your theme.

Thanks for your help.
Im just testing stuff out:

What I want to do is have a URL for each category for example
http://christobias.ca/blogtest/cars
http://christobias.ca/blogtest/snowboarding
etc if that is possible.
Refer to this, you have to edit your permalinks or it will not work the way you want i t to

Ok, I got it.
If you have default option selected your categories wont show up in that URL format.
argh, such a simple thing!
I also got the plugin that removes the “category base”
I really appreaciate the help. Thank you!
Ideally you shouldn’t use category based permalinks.

example.com/category/cat_name
Is the standard category URL for any of the provided (anything but default) permalink structures.
