# Problem With Permalinks

 * When I first started using WP on [http://jamesmarler.com](http://jamesmarler.com)
   a couple of years ago, I set up my permalinks like this:
 * %category%/%postname%
 * The deal is, I have some pages that are straight pages and some that are setup
   for blog/podcasting. After the most recent update, my one blog page ([http://jamesmarler.com/blahg](http://jamesmarler.com/blahg))
   stopped redirecting to ([http://jamesmarler.com/category/blahg](http://jamesmarler.com/category/blahg))
   and I got a 404 error alert. However, every other page, except for my home page,
   showed my blahg category posts. When I remove the custom permalink and return
   it to default, then everything works fine (as long as I redirect the Blahg page
   to the correct default permalink).
 * I would really like for this to be corrected, but, so far, everything I am finding
   is, to paraphrase, code yourself to death. 🙂 I love that some people eat, sleep
   and dream code, but I decided to use WP precisely because it was relatively easy
   to use without having to do all that intricate work.
 * PLEASE HELP!!!!

 * check your .htaccess file in WP root dir.

 * I’m not saying that this might fix it. But as it turns out MY problem was caused
   100% by installing the WP e-commerce store plugin.
