Here we go, in case you haven’t fixed your problem. The solution is here.

Simply remove the index.php from your permalink structure. When you do that, everything works fine. If linking from search engines that include “index.php” work fine.

At least for me they do.

Ok, while my custom permalinks work fine now, it appears my category links and Tag plugin don’t. Fortunately archives still works, so I guess I will have to deal with that until v2.6.1

Your fix work, but not exactly as you explained.

I uploaded the rewrite.php file to my wp-includes folder, and then reset my custom permalinks structure. It worked fine, except for the two error lines above, which I didn’t like.

So I simply uploaded the original WordPress 2.6 rewrite.php file, and lo and behold, the two error messages were gone, and the custom permalinks structure still works.

Very strange!

Funny thing is, I am on apache on a *nix box… and 2.5 I had to use index.php/%postname%/ or it would not work.. now i can’t use it or anything to get permalinks to work. Only the default works. Even using the default theme, no plugins.

Same box, different site – default and with a theme, no plugins it works fine. /%category%/%postname%/

I even copied the .htaccess over – rules, permissions, owner, everything exact same. I cant figure it out

my .htaccess
‘
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress
‘

AA Rewrite Rules reports
> Permalink: /%category%/%postname%/
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Using mod_rewrite permalinks

Thanks alot!
I wasn’t happy at all when I found out that my permalinks where broken. They need WP 2.6.1 soon, haha.

Dan: you’re welcome. I agree with the 2.6.1 idea…
