# Permalink Bug?

 * I’ve been having problems with any post/category that contains the word “blog”.
   I.e. /blog/archives/2005/12/30/blog-post would bring back a WordPress 404 error
   even thought it does actually exist. Likewise /archives/category/blogging/ returns
   a WordPress 404 error, but all other category archives work perfectly.
 * I did not have this problem with WordPress 1.5, I’ve even tried using my WP 1.5.
   htaccess directives with WP2 but no joy.
 * My ReWriteBase is /blog/ – is is just a coincidence, or is there some kind of
   bug being introduced by WordPress 2 permalink handling that is stopping any of
   my archives containing “blog” from matching correctly.
 * Everything worked fine before the upgrade to WordPress 2.
