Problems with WordPress permalinks and 404 errors solved(-ish)

It seems quite a common bug, you change the permalinks to something like:
/%category%/%postname%/
…and when you hit a permalink, you get a 404 error. Well, that’s what I was getting and a quick search shows I was, by no means, the only one. I tried everything I could find but it didn’t make the slightest bit of difference. In the end I had to settle for this:
/%category%/%postname%/%post_id%/
…which isn’t ideal because I don’t really want the post_id on the end of my permalink. Anyway, it’ll do for now.
