Hey guys. I was working on my site an noticed that when I click my links for different categories it just takes me back to the index page. It doesn't sort and display the posts only related to the category you clicked.

Here: www.atlanticanime.com
The category links are the ones in the purple bar under the logo. Click them and see what I mean.

Now does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Did u make any changes recently in permalink structure? Check ur .htaccess file and if u find any extra code there then remove them.

Surely, ur .htaccess file will have some extra code or change ur permalink structure for a while and then set default (which u r using now)

I guess it htaccess problem, what platform u are using? Upss... u are using wordpress

try this fix, put it on .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Code (markup):

Not that I know of, I did install a few SEO related plugins though. I went back through them and didn't see any permalink options.

I pasted it in at the bottom of .htaaccess, but it doesn't seem to fix the issue,

Even if it did I wouldnt know what to look for, .htaccess files are very new to me lol

If it is still not working then backup ur .htaccess file and set permalinks create new file (blank) paste new code which shows while editing permalink structure. And see if it works then add other options again ( not in .htaccess , by using cpanel ip deny manager.

Try this, backup .htaccess, delete from server and then update your permalinks, mostly it should fix your problem
