 * I am having a strange problem with WordPress when I update the post/page its 
   causing a 404 for every page and post bar the home and front page.
 * The WordPress site is in a sub sub directory and uses a custom permalink structure/%
   category%/%postname%/.
 * I have noticed that when I revert the permalink setting to default and then back
   to the custom permalink structure it works again till I save a post or page.
 * Note: I have also tried deactivating all the plugins which was just 1 plugin 
   and it still occurs.

 * Can you replicate the problem using the Twenty Eleven theme with **all** plugins
   deactivated?

 * Thanks Esmi,
 * It worked with the Twenty Eleven theme so I looked through my code and there 
   was a mistake with the Rewrite for the Custom Post Type.
