 * HI Guys! Just want to know if anyone can tell me how to solve this. When I activate
   the permalink option I get this message:
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near”
   at line 1]
    SELECT category_nicename FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID=
 * I have read that using a plug in could be the reason. I’m using the coffee2code
   category image plug in and the yugatech date image plug in.
 * For the permalink option I’m using :
    /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * My website is abiertoalanochecer.com (it’s in spanish). I suspect the fact that
   the wordpress directory is inside [http://www.abiertoalanochecer.com/wordpress/](http://www.abiertoalanochecer.com/wordpress/)
   
   and not under the root directory has something to do with it. Does anyone can
   tell me how to solve it…??
 * thanxs in advance…!

 * If you think the problem is with a plugin, the thing to do is disable the plugins
   and see if the problem goes away. If it does, reenable the plugins one at a time
   until it breaks again.
