 * Hi,
 * Hope someone can help! I used this as my permalinks:
 * > /%category%/%postname%/
 * If I click home, about etc it’s fine as these are my pages.
 * I then have a category ‘news’ which has posts.
 * I’ve hardcoded my top nav and news is /news. Home is `<?php bloginfo('url'); ?
   >` and about is /about.
 * When I click into news from the pages it’s fine. If I then click news from a 
   page i get a 404. If I go straight to news and an article then try to go to about
   for example, i get a 404.
 * How can I get around this?
    Thanks

 * Try something like this. Replace your /news and /about with the following below
   and come back and tell us if that is better.
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php echo bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/news">News</a>
       <a href="<?php echo bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/about">About</a>
       ```
   
 * Change accordingly. I given the HTML itself you can use.
