I have the same problem here. Using the structure, say, example below http://www.mathgol.com/pre-algebra/5-factors-and-divisibility-rules /%category%/%post_id%-%postname% sent me to 404 error. I use Webuzo as my panel.

It’s not enough to have: <code>/</code>. You need to use a <a href=“http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Structure_Tags”>Structure Tag | WordPress Codex</a>.

Yes custom structure is set to /

From the WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings => Permalinks. Do you have <code>Custom Structure</code> selected? What value have you set?
