 * Hi there,
 * I am having issues with deploying my clients website with their permalinks: cart.
   com.hk
 * I have tried setting the permalinks back to default ([http://www.cart.com.hk/?p=123](http://www.cart.com.hk/?p=123)),
   which then work, and then back to custom (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)
   but it again goes back to showing a 404 error page.
 * A couple sample links that I wanted to work:
    [http://www.cart.com.hk/about/](http://www.cart.com.hk/about/)
   [http://www.cart.com.hk/products/seasonal/silly-witches/](http://www.cart.com.hk/products/seasonal/silly-witches/)
 * Product Permalink base when set to default also works: [http://www.cart.com.hk/?product=sample-product](http://www.cart.com.hk/?product=sample-product)
   
   but I wanted it to be /products/%product_cat%/
 * Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
 * The site is WordPress 4.3.2

 * Is the site’s .htaccess file being updated correctly?
 * Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is 
   currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress
   asap.
