Ahoj,

I have the problem, that the categories in my menue would lead to a non existing site and cause a 404 error when clicked. I have no other plugins installed besides GP premium and the latest WP version. What could cause this?

Thanks very much!

Hey Philip, do you have a link to your site?

You added your categories via 'categories' or via 'custom links' ?

Hi Jean,

the site is still local; but I added the categories via categories :)

So, the template would generate a code reading:

<! li id="menu-item-17" class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-category menu-item-17"><! a href="http://localhost/mysite/index.php/category/allgemein/">Contact<! /a><! /li>

Try to delete the contents of your .htaccess file and save it.
After go to your Control Panel > Options > Permalinks
Update the permalink structure, this will generate a new rewrite rule for your permalinks.

Just test if everything is back to normal.

Here you can find more information about permalinks: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
