# Permalink not inserting forward slash

 * When I write a post the permalink is generated without a forward slash between
   the category and the filename, so when I press ‘View Post’ I get an error message:
   Sorry, we’re not sure what you’re looking for here.
 * If I insert the forward slash in the address bar on that page, the post comes
   up. Is there anything I can do, or is this an internal fault?

 * likely your permalink structure isn’t correct
    should be like `/%postname%/`
 * review yours
