    Hi all,
    I just installed wordpress here for an online cooking show..
    The links to the categories show up correctly and they all work
    For example https://chefarsenii.com/recipes/ has a list of all my categories.

    It’s when I’m on one of the recipe posts the link next to Published on September 30, 2010 in… the link looks like this https://chefarsenii.com/%20/appetizers/

    Of course this produces a forbidden error. What can I do to fix this?

    My permalink setting is /%category%/%postname%/

    Thanks for the help,

    Ben

  • Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and deleting/renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

    Hi
    I tried what you suggested and have read and re read the using permalinks page.
    This is from my .htaccess file…

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    My hosting is from startlogic.com

    I read that

    A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI. Starting Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.

    <– this is probably the reason for my slow server response but thats another topic.

    What is the recommended custom structure?
    I also tried using the other predefined structures like. month /day / post
    and archives / 123

    I don’t have any of these issues with my Godaddy account. Could it be a server issue?
