 * I followed the advice in this post
    > [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-category-pages-error-404-page-not-found](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-category-pages-error-404-page-not-found)
 * unfortunately while the urls are now working I am getting this structure when
   I go to a post in a subcategory.
 * [http://WEBSITE/online/barrie-course/%subcategory%/lesson-1/](http://WEBSITE/online/barrie-course/%subcategory%/lesson-1/)
 * Unfortunately if I don’t include the subcategory tag in the link structure i 
   get 404 errors on the subcategory pages.
 * Is there any way I can have subcategories and also not the “%subcategory%” in
   the urls?

 * default does help, however I still want the SEO and usability of friendly urls.
