 * I changed my permalinks to “/%category%/%postname” then added a
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * To my .htaccess file and it’s not working, I’m getting 404s.
