# Category and Posts issue

* I have a WP installation and when you go to the installed root folder in this
case /knowledgebase/ it is bringing back a series of blog posts as expected.
* I have also set my permalink creation as custom /%category%/%postname%/ as this
is our prefered structure. However when ever I link to either e.g. /knowledgebase/
categoryname/ or /knowledgebase/categoryname/articlename/ it keeps going to a
404.
* I have followed the same data structure on another installation on a seperate
domain which works. Does any one have an idea as to what could be causing it
to error?
* Many thanks
* Tim

* I initially thought it was on 3.1.1 like the other WP installtion we have it –
turns out it is on WordPress 3.0.3. Will this have any bearing on things????

* I have now upgraded to the latest version of WP. Still no luck, does anyone have
a clue as to why it is 404’ing when I click on a post which is linked by a custom
permalink????

* Have you tried re-saving the permalink structure to see if that solves the issue?

* If you mean by saving it in the settings >> Permalinks in the WP Admin panel
then yeah, I have tried this and also tried changing, nothing is working. The
standard default permalink ?p=999 does work.

* Are the permissions of your .htaccess file in your knowledgebase folder correct?

* Try setting them to 777 and resaving via the permerlink admin page. If that works
then set them back to 644.

* It’s also worth checking the htaccess rules are something link this…
* ```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /knowledgebase/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /knowledgebase/index.php [L]
```
* Note the **knowledgebase**.

* My htaccess file is in the root directory rather than the WP installation folder
of /knowledgebase/
* Here is my HTAccess
* ```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /knowledgebase/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /knowledgebase/index.php [L]
# END WordPress

* Under general settings are theses two options the same?
* WordPress Address (URL)
Site Address (URL)
* Or do they have different URLS?

* Hold on a minute…. something just kicked in…. I asked my host about my hosting
pacakge and something just happened, it wouldn’t suprise me if they just amended
a setting for me… Sorry to have been a pain, but thanks for all your help it
will certainly go to good use in the future if I have a similar issue.. Cheers
