					<description>I would check if the .htaccess file in your www-root is not broken.

If you are not using a very weird WordPress setup this should be the file that controls all the dynamic subfolders (permalinks, categories, archives etc.).

If you are lucky clicking the &quot;Update Permalinks Structure &amp;#62;&quot; button under &quot;Options -&amp;#62; Permalinks&quot; may be enough to rewrite the .htaccess file.

Otherwise you could manually check how it looks. In my WordPress installation the category part of it looks like this:
&lt;code&gt;
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/feed/(feed&amp;#124;rdf&amp;#124;rss&amp;#124;rss2&amp;#124;atom)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&amp;#38;feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/(feed&amp;#124;rdf&amp;#124;rss&amp;#124;rss2&amp;#124;atom)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&amp;#38;feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&amp;#38;paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]
&lt;/code&gt;</description>

					<description>I'm not an expert, but here's what I've noticed. Not all of your categories are broken. The Uncategorized and Websites categories work.

I see that the ones that don't work all have spaces in the names. For example, the link to the Usabilty category is http://www.webword.com/category/Usability News/

Did you recently change the category names?</description>
