    I have a multisite install on 3.5.1 using sub-directories. I’ve noticed that every time I create a new site, you get a 404 when you try to go to a category: e.g. http://domain.com/category/somecategory

    You can see this immediately after a new site is activated. The site uses the Twenty Twelve theme and Hello World! is displayed on the home page. If you click the Uncategorized link, then you get the ‘Cannot be Found’ error.

    If i go to the admin and go to settings > permalinks and just click the save button, don’t even have to change the structure. Then it starts working just fine.

    I beleive my htaccess file has all of the appropriate entries as suggested by the wordpress network admin page.

    You probably have a plugin or theme that’s corrupting the rewrite rules in the DB.

    There is only one plugin installed, and it’s not active. The theme in use is Twenty Twelve. I’ve completely removed all plugins and the problem still persists. Is there any way to look at the database rewrite rules and compare them to the default?

    I think it’s rewrite_rules in your wp_options table.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Rewrite has a little more of the crazy stuff that goes on.

    After a clean install of wordpress and a fresh DB, the issue is gone. Seems a plugin that was previously installed was probably the culprit.

    I have got the same problem. I have only installed 2 plugins so far. Was it “multilanguage” type plugin? If so, is it possible to know which one so I can avoid installing it again. Thanx.

    It’s still unclear to me which plugin may have caused it, but it was definitely not related to a multilanguage plugin.
