 * I am using the permalink structure
 * /%category%/%postname%
 * I have several categories that have child categories however when I try to link
   to the subcategory listing:
 * site.com/parent/child
 * I recieve a 404 but
 * site.com/child
    and site.com/parent/child/article-title
 * works fine.
 * Am I doing something wrong in my .htaccess or permalink structure?
