I just wanted people to know that the fix above
To get it working, I changed my permalinks to /%postname/ and my categories base to /categories
worked for me also. The only correction I made, which I am sure was just a typo, was:
change permalinks to /%postname%/
Thanks Johnyflash! I have been trying to fix this problem all day! ??
