 * Hello,
 * I set the default permalink structure and everything works fine (with category
   base of “lyrics”). I set the permalink structure to this: /%category%/%postname%/(
   same category base) and any post that has an all numeric title, eg. a post with
   the name of 4321 gives a 404 error. The structure of the link looks like it should….(
   example.com/category parents and children/posts/) Any ideas why? Here’s my .htaccess
   file. “Example” is replaced with my domain name below. Thanks!
