# Permalink 404 when custom structure.

 * Hi guys!
 * I do believe I’ve asked this question before but never had it resolved. However,
   I’m developing my business page in WordPress and I wanted my pages slugs to be
   the same as the page title. Therefore I used the %pagename& in the custom permalink
   structure.
 * However whenever I try to use a custom permalink structure (doesn’t matter which
   one) I always get a 404 – Not found. Any ideas of what’s causing it, might be
   a common problem.

   results in => [http://gyazo.com/1477044a79cd2491aeab5d6249d8e779](http://gyazo.com/1477044a79cd2491aeab5d6249d8e779)
 * Any ideas, could this be a .htaccess command I’ve forgotten or what can I do?
   To me it seems weird that such a basic feature takes this much of effort to get
   working.

 * Hi Chris, I did try that one as well. However the problem is that once the custom
   structure is used I get a 404 for all my pages. It doesn’t matter what structure
   I use it only works with the default structure.
