# Permalinks not found errors

 * My permalinks are causing google page not found errors.
    I set up my word press
   permalinks using /%category%/%postname%/ on the permalinks page in ‘settings’.
   My when I write a post, I set it up as a new category name (child) and place 
   it under a main category (parent) Google list only the URL and child name and
   not the main category name, thus causing the error, because Google is not listing
   the ‘main category’ or (Parent) name. How do I set up permalinks so Google can
   crawl URL, Category, Child? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

 * This is my Permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/
    This is my Category 
   structure: • Medicare and Health Insurance – **Parent** o Caution Urged for Medicare
   Private Health Plans – **Child** o Tales from US Health Care Crypt – **Child**
 * These are the errors I receive from Google.

 * Ok, it seems each post not being recognized is because I assigned the PARENT 
   as the Category. By changing each individual post as its own category seems to
   remove the error, however now I have 66 posts which have all become their own
   category, which removed the PARENT from the Category widget on my site. Anyone,
   anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my individual posts which I have now
   set to their own category and place them under a PARENT?
    many thanks
