Brilliant! Simple! Effective! Thank you!

Two hours of my life are gone but here is what I did to fix. First, I deleted the Category Base entry and ignored Structure. It updated fine but the site was still MIA. Whenever I went in to Permalinks admin, ht was immediately corrupted, so I was just going in circles. This last time, I went in to Perm Admin, then deleted the ht file, then deleted Perm instructions, and it updated properly.

My baby has come back.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your help.

The site redirects back to WP.

WordPress is the problem, not Bluehost.

Of course, Bluehost said it was a WordPress problem. Based on the numerous permalink problems listed in this forum, I tend to side with Bluehost. I have read a few dozen posts and none seem to provide a solution.

I have been deleting the .htaccess file. That revives the site but it doesn’t correct the error in the Permalinks. Whenever I do anything that changes .htaccess, the site goes 500.

I can’t get this to work. What am I doing wrong? I added the above code to my stylesheet but nothing happens.

I had a back-up so I recreated the file. Why would one small change do that?
