# Error 404 on post pages

 * I’ve been seeing this error randomly of recent. A post or two might become missing
   and return error 404. This is happening to both new and some old posts.
 * The post slug usually turn to just posts.
 * A post that originally looked like doncaprio.com/2012/12/abc-xyz-ghj.html might
   suddenly change to doncaprio.com/2012/12/posts.html
 * I have no idea why this is happening and I’m losing traffic. Any help?

 * Still no help.
 * /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
 * Using that permalink structure cuz I moved from blogger to WP but I seem to be
   having this issue with the posts I made after I got to WP. Just a number of them
   and it’s random. I sometimes need to check google webmaster tools to know which
   post is missing.
 * the %postname% which should be the slug suddenly turns to just “posts”
