Thanks to Marc’s comment on my last post, fixing Permalinks is easier that I originally thought for Wordpress 2.6. Marc cites this post on the Wordpress support forum. Whether you followed my instructions from my last post or not, the fix is the same:
- Re-upload the original rewrite.php file from 2.6’s latest.tar.gz to your wp-includes directory.
- From the dashboard, set permalinks to “Default” and Save it.
- From the dashboard, set permalinks to “Custom Structure” of your choice and Save it.
Mine is now: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
(Previously: /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ which does not work.)
For the record, search engines that indexed links with the /index.php/{etc.} structure still resolve properly.
Please leave a comment if it doesn’t work for you.
Big thanks to Marc for the comment.

It doenst work here
My wordpress is hosted on a Windows server, which is fitted with the Mod Rewrite plugin, so I can use pretty permalinks.
============================
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
============================
This worked perfectly until the update to 2.6…I’ve tried you fix + the one Marc suggests, but it still doesnt work. What am I doing wrong?

I forgot to mention I use “/%category%/%postname%/” as my custom structure. Also my GeoMashup plugin, my pages & my slideshow rotator stopped working

Ducked.nl: I am not sure about using this on Windows; I only have experience using this method with Apache. My rewrite rules look like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
