Just make a category in the WordPress dashboard and assign posts to it.

Depending on the permalink settings you are using changes what the url will be.

An example is on my site: https://wpkickstart.com/category/screencasts/

That is a category.

Does it work if you switch it back to the default permalink setting?

PS, it always helps to keep WordPress updated to the latest version.

In your webhost backend (Cpanel?) export your mysql database.
Then copy your theme to your computer via ftp.

You must then go through every line of your theme looking for hacked code.

Now, wipe every file on your webhost, then re-install WordPress. It is important that your wipe everything and dont just override.

Well when previewing thats how the url is. It is only when the post is published that it gets its /postname url.

Not sure about why you are getting a page not foind error

If you edit your index.php you can exclude categories from showing on your homepage.

So make the new category and get its id (there a lots of tuts around for this).

Then change the code in your index to query_posts(‘cat=-ID’);

It might help if you post your index code.

Why not just upgrade to the latest version? It wont affect anything.

Yep, you can have different pages as different categories.

So you could have a soccer category, football, cricket etc.

You would just link to them like normal pages.

Try activating the Hello Dolly plugin

Wipe the server and re-install WordPress. Then re-upload the theme from a backup

Also:
Use this plugin https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/memory-bump/ to increase memory allocated to PHP and see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/298403

If you go to your posts screen (wp-admin/edit.php) you can specify which categories to show: https://img.skitch.com/20100714-1x6yiqfygyiwamx2fb7yr4w7gb.jpg

You can then bulk edit them all and change the category to category A.

If that makes sense ??
