# Permalink Error

 * **Permalink = /%category%/%postname%/ Fails**
 * Upgraded to 2.8.4 and my usual permalink setting /%category%/%postname%/ fails.
   The default and common settings all work, as does **/index.php/**%category%/%
   postname%/.
 * My htaccess is normal:
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * All my other blogs updated OK, but not his one. I want to preserve the same permalinks,
   to keep all the search links intact.
 * The error is that the linked pages render without any style, and have duplicates
   displayed in ever-dimishing boxes, a sort of infinite loop??
