# Permalink | Categories problem

 * Hello, I made a successful Permalink redirection.
 * The posts show corectly using:
 * /%category%/%postname%/
 * But when I try click on a category name in the sidebar, it doesn’t show me the
   posts which are part of that category. More of that, the link stays unchanged
   in the address bar.
 * If I click a post it shows up correctly in the address bar: categeory name/name
   of the post.
 * I tried it with the other defaults permalinks but was the same problem. It works
   with the default ugly permalink, though.
 * Do I have to add another rule for that, or use a plugin?
 * Please help.
 * Thanks

 * it is not a good idea to start a permalink structure with `%category%`
