I'm new to magento when i list categories in sidebar. when i click the category name means it will go to 404 error page. If you have any idea Please tell me as soon as possible..

and my code is

<?php
$_categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(3)->getChildrenCategories();
if($_categories->count()):
   $categorycount = 0;
   foreach ($_categories as $_category):
         if($_category->getIsActive()):
         $cur_category=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
         $layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
         $layer->setCurrentCategory($cur_category);


   ?>
       <li><a href="<?php echo $_category->getURL() ?>" title="<?php echo             

        $this->htmlEscape($_category->getName()) ?>"><span class="categoriesHead"><?php   
        echo $this->htmlEscape($_category->getName()) ?></span>
        </a>

        </li>
       <?php
      endif;

    endforeach;
endif;

?>

I spend so much time on this problem.... You might have made your categories root categories and not subcategories. Simply drag and drop them into the default category and see if that gives you a better url.

You can see if you are getting a bad url by just appending index.php/name of category in small case/ to the base url

I had the same issue in 1.5.1 and in my case it was the category url suffix which was expecting a .html suffix but the links were giving me blank. I changed Admin>>System>>Configuration>>Catalog>>Search Engine Optimisations>>category suffix from ".html" to "" (blank) and it's working fine now.

Try this: Go in admin>>System>>Configuration>>Catalog and under Category permissions select No at Enable option.

Then click Save config and clear Magento cache.
