 * Hi there,
 * Here is the situation, for some reason, when I try to save a post under a sub-
   category it redirects to Uncategorized for some reason. However, when I save 
   it to the parent category there are no issues.
 * Here is my current permalink:
    [http://staging.cancerwellness.com/%category%/%postname%](http://staging.cancerwellness.com/%category%/%postname%)
 * Is there something that I need to do within the .htaccess file?
 * Thank you,
    Kevin
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fposts-not-saving-with-subcategories%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Kevin,
 * I doubt this would be a .htaccess configuration issue, so I would steer clear
   of adjusting that file. Take a look at this post which could be helpful for you.
   There’s a section about sub-categories that are not tied to a parent that may
   be relevant to the issue you’re experiencing:
    _ If you choose to file a post
   under the child category but not under the parent category, then your post will
   appear only on the archive pages of child category.
