 * Hi there!
    I saw that this issue is quite often, and I tried several steps that
   worked for other users and nothing happened.
 * Let me detail my issue:
 * I have a gadget news website, so I created pages like news, how to, and so on.
   The problem is that if I change the default permalink it will give me a 404 error
   page, but if I let the default permalink, it shows me the created page.
 * I would let it like that if there wasn’t a problem with deault too. If I write
   a post about a specific game launch, for example, I chiise both news and games
   category, but it seems that only my Home page will display it.
 * This is my .htaccess file:
 * > # BEGIN WordPress
   >  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   > RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   > REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
   > # END WordPress
 * I guess that once i fix the permalink issue, the posts will appear in the required
   pages that I selected.
 * The custon permalink I want to use is: /%category%/%post_id%-%postname%
 * Would this have something to do with my host or wordpress? If anyone can help
   me, I would like step by step instructions, as this is the third day that I try
   do do something about this and I am very confuzed.
 * Thank you very much!
