 * when i try to change the permalink for post to this /%category%-%postname%/ it
   works fine for categories with single names in them but when it’s aa category
   with a space in it, it gives me a page not found error is there a way to fix 
   this?

 * /%category% %postname%/ this does work as a url
    but /%category%-%postname%/ 
   messes up on categories with spaces in it
