What are your two URL options in Options/General?
Also, was “Chicken Little” posted under a category?
Blog and wordpress adresses are the same: http://wwwua.petrenko.com.ua (no trailing slash).
Yes, Article posted under category and seen witin category list.
Interesting. Do the permalinks work properly without the /%category%/ tag?
You might want to check your WordPress address (URI) and Blog address (URI) in the options section and check they are both right. WordPress bases the first part of the permalinks off them so….
2 macmanx. Yes. Problem with %category% tag only in any combinations.
That’s very odd. The /%category%/ tag was known to be unstable under Apache 1, but it should work perfectly under Apache 2. I think that you should submit this as a bug report.

Probably that was raised here: http://trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/1199
Strange… In Apache 1 we had a problem with work of permalinks, In Apache 2 we have problem with permalinks show up.
BTW, anybody can show the place, where these links are generated? In my opinion there should be no problems with generation.
So, I experimented about for a while: made couple of fresh installs on different urls on the same server – the same situation – %category% is missing.
I have access to server configuration (VDS). May change of some settings help?
Continuing the story…
Changed settings to be equal on previous host. Not working.
Looked into code.
It happens here:
/wp-includes/template-functions-links.php
$category = '';
if (strstr($permalink, '%category%')) {
$cats = get_the_category($post->ID);
$category = $cats[0]->category_nicename;
if ($parent=$cats[0]->category_parent) $category = get_category_parents($parent, FALSE, '/', TRUE) . $category;
}
But why the category name is empty?
So I see, that there are similiar problems
here: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/26500
and here http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/26870
But I again want to note: ALL PERMALINKS WORK CORRECTLY IF PROPERLY GENERATED (it is not problem in .htaccess rules).Problem is that %category% tag is not shown in URL like in post http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/26500#post-151327
Sorry for spam, but I have no news or ideas… Do you?
Just installed WP2. The same problem.
My new observations.
In file template-functions-links.php
$cats = get_the_category($post->ID); – returns table (array), where categories matching post ID shoild be.
$category = $cats[0]->category_nicename; – should take from this table (array) first match nicename for category.
BUT in fact, it should take instead of [0] (means first row), row with category number. So, I understand, that function function get_the_category($id = true) in template-functions-category.php works incorrectly on some hosts or with some settings, selecting ALL categories, not the one.
I understand, that you are working hard on WP2, but now it is proved to be a bug in WP2 too 😉
Anyone has PHP 4.2 to check, whether it relates to PHP version?
