 * Hi,
 * Couldn’t see a non code answer to this and i need something either laid out step
   by step or ideally in a simple non coder version.
 * I’ve installed the WP Advert plugin and afterwards updated the permalink setting/%
   category%/%postname%/ but now when i click on one of the ads it’s goes to an 
   error page instead of the advert.
 * I’ve clearly done something wrong as i’m sure i had this working before, could
   anyone lend me a hand and say what I’ve done wrong please?
 * Thanks
    R
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalink-92%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   button.

 * Hi,
    it looks like the permalinks on your site does not work at all, as the Privacy
   Policy page returns a not found error as well (basically only the homepage seems
   to work).
 * You would need to make sure that you have in the main folder a .htaccess file.
 * In the meantime, you can go to wp-admin / Settings / Permalinks and check the“
   Plain” option this should allow you to use the site but without the pretty permalinks.
