Only non-stock plugin installed is Buddypress and it is disabled. Tried with 2010 and 2011 themes, front page comes up, any link clicked gives a 404 error. * I run many WP sites including WPMU, first time I’ve ever had this happen. * [Dirty Bill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dirty-bill/) * (@dirty-bill) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-structure-problem-4/#post-2881280) * Disabled, then re-enabled mod-rewrite on Apache server – fixed the issue.

Every time I choose the default set in the permalink structure, the pages and post of my blog is working well but the categories are the one will be getting the 404 error. And if I am going to choose a permalink structure it will give an opposite result, the pages and posts are the one will get the 404 error. * [trickenchicken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trickenchicken/) * (@trickenchicken) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-structure-problem-4/#post-2881487) * im having the same issue im using Altushost for my provider ive tried cloaked links/no cloaked no plugins/plugins reverting everything to default deleting the htaccess and remaking it etc but all the links on my front page always include my url in them first which results in a 404 * e-cigsnow.com if anyone has any ideas ive talked to my hosting provider they said its a wordpress problem. * I forgot to mention the external links on other pages work fine its just the front page that doesn’t work * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-structure-problem-4/#post-2881488) * [@shockwave01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shockwave01/): how are you getting to the pages?
