 * Hey there,
 * I’ve got a fairly odd permalink issue that’s been affecting the root site of 
   my multisite install _only_.
 * **The setup:**
    - WordPress 3.2.1
    - Sub-directory install
    - Default .htaccess for multisite
    - Domain mapping plugin for sub-directory sites
    - PHP Version 5.2.9
 * **The problem:**
    I first noticed an issue when I [tried using the Jobs Manager plugin](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-wordpress-network-parent-site-doesnt-display-jobs?replies=2)
   and couldn’t get it to work unless my permalinks were set to the default.
 * I thought it was the plugin because pages and posts worked just fine regardless
   of peramalink setting…or so I thought.
 * We recently started adding some test blog entries and found that, while the posts
   do indeed link properly, clicking categories or archive pages render 404 Errors.
 * Example (forgive the incomplete-ness): [http://pasha-boston.com/blog/](http://pasha-boston.com/blog/),
   [http://pasha-boston.com/blog/category/cure-lounge-news](http://pasha-boston.com/blog/category/cure-lounge-news)
 * Again, this is not true on any of the sub-sites; pages, posts, taxonomies, and
   archives all link properly.
 * I’ve talked to the hosting company and they wrote it off as a WordPress issue
   and said they most likely couldn’t do anything. So, if anyone has any suggestions,
   it’d be much appreciated.
 * Thank you!

 * As you mentioned, you already have a post for this: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-wordpress-network-parent-site-doesnt-display-jobs?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-job-manager-wordpress-network-parent-site-doesnt-display-jobs?replies=2)
 * It’s POSSIBLY, MultiSite, though if so, it’s the plugin not being MultiSite happy.
   Update the original post, don’t make more (that’s against the rules).
