    Hi, I’m trying to import a large number of categories and items from an old site. I’ve got the categories imported to where I can see them in the connections admin pages, but when I go to any of the ‘View’ links for a category I get a 404

    I added the [connections] shortcode to a page which is configured as the base url, and it does show up

    http://www.btucson.com/index.php/bcats/

    but any of the individual categories or the one test item I imported do not:

    http://www.btucson.com/index.php/bcats/name/kitt-peak/
    http://www.btucson.com/index.php/bcats/cat/17130313/

    What would I need to do to get all the subcategories to show up? I hope I don’t have to manually add pages for each one?

    Also, when I import items it seems I can match the categories by name, but some of them have the same name at different levels. Can I use the slug or something else more definitive in the Categories column?

    Thanks! This tool seems really promising if I can figure out what I’m doing wrong here!

    @ Golda

    The issue is with the permalink setup. Connections does not support permalink setups which use index.php in its structure. Please go to the WordPress Permalinks admin page and remove that. This will allow Connections to work and improve the SEO of your site.

    Hope that helps!
