# [ ! ] Category permalink problems

 * I have a problem since upgrading to 3.1 (now 3.1.1) with category permalinks.
   Till now I used one of default permalinks formats “/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%
   postname%/”.
 * With 2.9 everything worked like a charm for ex. [http://url/category/cat_name/](http://url/category/cat_name/).
   And it still does if i restore form backup to old version.
 * With 3.1 when i try to open [http://url/category/cat_name/](http://url/category/cat_name/)
   I get 404. Posts works fine, problem is only with categories. So i guess there
   is problem with taxonomy or something. I’m out of clues.
 * For now I use defaul permalink and it works, but afaik it hurts SEO pretty much,
   so i would like to solve this somehow.

 * If by that you ment category Slug or other permalinks format, tried both of that.
   Didn’t help.
