 * Hello,
 * I have recently installed (new install) WP 2.5 for this specific website.
 * Recently I saw that the links dynamicly created (i.e. /index.php/about) to pages
   do not work, but if I go to the page using the “?page_id=”, works. Slugs are 
   working file for posts, thought.
 * For example, the page:
 * [http://hypescience.com/?page_id=46](http://hypescience.com/?page_id=46)
 * Works fine. But the same page with slugs, dont:
 * [http://hypescience.com/index.php/politica-de-privacidade/](http://hypescience.com/index.php/politica-de-privacidade/)
 * I get the “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” message when I try to load
   a page with slugs in the address bar.
 * I briefly changed themes to test and the same happener with the WordPress default
   theme.
 * My permalinks structure is “/index.php/%postname%/”, because I use IIS6 under
   Windows 2003. I have other blogs that I have not upgraded to 2.5 yet. Right now
   I tested the slugs with pages and it is working fine so far.

 * I discovered something curious.
 * I updated a test-only blog and applyed the same permalinks structure. Had the
   same issue. And it was working before.
 * Then I changes te permalink structure again to:
 * /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * Worked. It worked on both blogs.
 * All that made me think that it is a bug on permalinks on wp 2.5 that makes it
   not work with the /index.php/%postname%/ structure. at least on IIS.
 * But then, I tried to test again and IT WORKS NOW!
 * Crazy!
 * If you need I could help testing it.

 * Confirmed here:
    – After upgrading to 2.5, /index.php/%postname%/ resulted in“
   Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” (whatever theme is used) – Changing the
   structure to something else, and then changing it back fixes it.

 * I did that and worked. Then I did other changes and the problem came back up 
   again.
 * Any other suggerstions?

   > Before:
   > } elseif ( ” != $qv[‘name’] ) {
   >  $this->is_single = true;
   > Now wp looks if the file also had a year (it could be monthnum or day) so it
   > can recognize a page as a page index.php/page-name

 * It did work. The pages came back working. The problem was that no posts worked
   anymore. Corrected the pages permalink and messed up posts permalink.
