I have posted several different post in different catagories on my wordpress blog. After I publish the articles and go to the home page. I click on the catagory the post were added to. I get a 404 page not found error. I click my blog post page and the articles are there. I hope someone understands my question. I not sure if I explained it well. Sorry.

Does anyone know what I need to do.

    From where did you get this theme? The links are incorrect. So it's only obvious to get 404.

      I highly doubt its a theme problem, its the blog itself causing the issue not the menu links that are in the theme........

    looks like a htaccess problem or url setting problem.

    first

    goto your permalinks under settings->permalinks and change it to Custom Structure set it to /%category%/%postname%/

    Then

    check your general tab and make sure it looks like

    got to "Settings->Permalinks" from your dashboard

    Under the "save changes" button you will see what needs to be added to your .htaccess
    If you do not have a .htaccess you will need to create one. This goes in the directory that you installed WP.

    Try resetting the Permalinks to it's default settings, or try reinstalling wordpress (Backup your database).

    I have the same problem.

    Today I upgraded to WordPress 3.1.2.

    Now I have a 404 not found on my homepage.

    Same thing, click on the category and the posts are there, click on the posts and the posts are there.

    Access the website direct by typing the address and homepage shows 404.

    Suggestions?

    Digital Traffic, little tip for you mate, let the others find the problems on upgrade of wordpress. 3.1.2 just came out. I'll normally wait one or two weeks before upgrading. Even then the first blog I backup and then upgrade. I too learnt this painful lesson.

    I can't believe some of the answers here.

    You have an error in the term that you're using to trigger a category archive. In your links, you have a space - "camping tips" - which is a no-no. Either you have it wrong on your permalinks page, or you've hand-made the category links and messed them up.

    Either way, this isn't a WordPress problem - it's user error

    But should be easily fixable...

    EDIT:
    By the way, do NOT use /%category%/%postname%/ as a permalink structure. For reasons related to the way WordPress builds its lookup table, using a numerical first ( or only) section will simplify URL lookups immensely, especially after you reach 100+ posts. Use a date-based or id-based structure - /%year%/%postname%/ or /%postid%/%postname%/

      you can change the permalinks. Default will not be suitable for search engines

    I have hosted the word press blog in my computer(using wampp) for testing purpose. The post open normally when the permalink is set to http://localhost/wordpress/?p=123 but when i changed it to custom: %postname% , it shows up with the following error:
    Not Found

    The requested URL /wordpress/society was not found on this server.

    What should i do to solve it?
