   I have a dreaded permalink problem, and while I suspect there may be no solution, I can hopefully summarise the problem rather quickly.

   I run a travel blog and I find it difficult to categorise my posts. For example, my Category structure for a particular post would be like this:

   Destinations --> Australia --> Sydney

   If I leave just "Sydney" ticked in the categories box of the post, the URL shows up nicely in my Permalink structure as /destinations/australia/sydney/%postname%. However, if someone wants to see all the places I went to in Australia, and typed in /destinations/australia/ - they would get a 404 error!

   Alternatively, if I tick "Destinations", "Australia" and "Sydney" for the post, my permalink URL will for some reason only show as /destinations/%postname%. However, going to /destinations/australia/ will now show all my Australian posts.

   Is there a way for me to sort out my Permalink structure for each place I visit (Country/Place/Postname) AND somehow keep the 'filing system' intact? Ideally I'd want a list of "Countries I've visited" links on the sidebar where each link shows all the places I've been in each country - but I do not know how this is technically possible.

   Thanks - fingers crossed I've been clear!

   Hi,

   Reset your permalink from wordpress admin area and add this code in htaccess of your blog:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Now, check with your blog posts.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
