Categories permalinks problem :(

  • Hi!

    I am a newbie to WordPress, searched through forum, but never found the solution to my problem:

    1. After editing Permalink Structure in Admin Panel / Options (in Structure: field I’ve typed “/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/” and in Category base: I’ve typed “/content”) WordPress gave me some strange errors on a main page:

    “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=”

    2. As a man with no knowledge of php, I got scared ?? and erased everything from Permalink Structure fields and updated (returned to defaults :P). Errors disappeared, but now on a main page all categories links at the bottom of each post look like “https://www.jamert.ee/v3/?cat=” with no category ID at the end!

    How do I fix it?? Please help!

    My blog: https://www.jamert.ee
    Example post: https://www.jamert.ee/v3/?p=96 (categories after the last image)
    My server information (I do not understand it myself :P): https://www.jamert.ee/work/phpinfo.php

    Thanks in advance!

    Your category links appear to be functioning properly now.

    For future reference, when adding a category base, it must have a closing slash. So, you should have used: /content/

    No they still do not function properly :(. These on the right sidebar are just manually made links on a sidebar.php, but at the bottom of the page there is a FILLED UNDER (??“???????:) and a number of categories with broken links :(…

    /content/ – tryed this too, but it does not work either :(…

    If you still have the .htaccess file in your directory and you are not using it anymore, check and delete it. Not sure, but it might help…

    moshu, thanx, but I still got the problem :(. the links are broken anyway…

    is there any way to solve this without deleting the whole wordpress dir, installing all over again and having to post all the posts again?
