# Permalink Structure: Posts Without Category Selected

 * When using the permalink structure “/%category%/%postname%/”, links work fine
   when the posts have a category selected. But if posts do not have a category 
   selected, we get a “Page Not Found” error.
 * Is there a way to say “if a post doesn’t have a category, then just use /%postname%/”?
 * Thanks for any help!
