# Permalink error on new blogs

 * When a new site is created by a new user the permalink to their categories doesnt
   work.
    Instead a error message appear: This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
   It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of 
   the links below, can help.
 * I have found a way to fix this manually, by only updating the permalinks.
    By
   typing the url/usersblogurl/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
 * My .htaccess:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
   
       #uploaded files
       RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
       RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
       RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule . - [L]
       RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       <Files async-upload.php>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </Files>
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Created a test blog:
    [http://sveablogg.se/testy](http://sveablogg.se/testy) -
   click on category How can I fix this?

 * So you have them resave permalinks and it starts to work?

 * Yes, once I resave the permalinks from the specifik users dashboard, it works.
   But only for that user.

 * Only for that user.
    When a new user account is created, they have to do the 
   same thing.

 * You likely have a plugin that’s causing this problem. Are you using any registration
   plugins?

 * The only plugins I use that add fields/changes the registration form is:
    Buddypress
   1.6.1 SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam 2.7.5 TOS

 * I doubt it’s BuddyPress, so try turning off the other two and see if it resolves?

 * Tried it but it didn’t work.
    How about the .htaccess file. Is the code ok?

 * Actually … on review, no it’s not right.
 * Use this one: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite)

 * I changed the code and it still didn’t work.
 * My new .htaccess code:
 *     ```
       php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
       php_value post_max_size 64M
       php_value max_execution_time 300
