    I updated to 4.5.2 after the problem arose. I’ve switched themes on a live site before and it caused chaos to all sorts of settings – not doing that again. The host tells me that there are no problems with the WordPress core files.

    Other people currently suffering exactly the same problem and the fact that a workaround that worked for someone else worked for me, strongly suggests that there is some sort of generic problem – albeit it not impacting every theme.

    I’m going to wait for core WordPress or Studiopress to fix the ‘bug’. I’ll just have to keep trying the permalink setting that I would like to use until one day it works.

    Thanks everyone for all of the input and ideas.

    Hi Marius,

    I found a short-term workaround in another forum that involves put a fixed element into the permalinks setting. I used the word ‘blog’ and the permalinks are set to /blog/%category%/%postname%/. My site works again the search engines have my site indexed without the ”blog’ in every post’s URL and all of the external links (e.g. from social media) to my blog posts are now broken. I need a fix that enables me to go back to using just /%category%/%postname%/

    Regards
    Tony

    Hi Viktor,
    I disabled ALL plugins and the problem remained. I am now seeing other people raising the same problem in other forums. If you have 4.5.2 WordPress try /%category%/%postname%/ yourself.
    Kind Regards
    Tony

    Yes I’ve tried all sorts of different custom permalink setups. The only ones which seem to leave the site working are ones with only one parameter.

    Yes that’s what’s in my htaccess file

    How did you get the images to right align please? They seem to align left by default and I cannot find any way of over-riding this.
