 * This is so annoying. I have serious problems setting the permalink structure 
   in wordpress 2.0.
    No matter what changes I make to the structure under Options
   > Permalinks, the output generated by wordpress is always
 * `
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php </IfModule>
 * Is this a bug? How can I fix this?
 * I want the permalink structure look like
    archive/%category%/%postname% with 
   the category base category/ .

 * Yes thats what Ryan Boren also mailed to me. But in many cases the rewrite rules
   are not working as they supposed to do. If so, he asks for helping debugging 
   in this reaction :

 * Rrrright.
    So it’s a bug. Pretty sad. Changing back to 1.5.2 …

 * Manzalien, do you have any examples of where your permalink structure isn’t working?
   Or was that just a general complaint 😉

 * I pointed out Ryan Boren my problems with the permalink structure by email ;
 * Everytime when I don’t use his temporary plugin I got from him
    ( [http://www.mazalien.nl/blog/rewrite.txt](http://www.mazalien.nl/blog/rewrite.txt)),
   I am redirected to the main index, no matter if I click a post to comment, a 
   sub-pages or whaterver. Even with ALL my plugins deactivated. This is also the
   case with the i-frame in the write area ( [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/51077?replies=17](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/51077?replies=17))
   where I even can’t save a post, beacause I am immediately redirected to the index.
   WP-20 does not do any such redirects siad Ryan but in wp-1.5.2 I had never problems.
   I reported the dump to him as requested in [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/53066?replies=13#post-290520](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/53066?replies=13#post-290520)
   But there is hope, he will debug this problem.
