Anyone got any help?
Nice to be in the same situation as someone at the same time, however irritating. 🙂
Try something else instead of “category”.
No, because I have tried it with /%postname%
My problem is with pages as opposed to posts, though.
From the Codex
Note on using only %postname%
If you use postname as the only element in your permalinks to create a structure such as myblog.com/post-title, the rewrite rules may make it impossible to access pages…
Yes but I am dealing with pages not posts? So permalinks don’t apply?
Thanks for the help so far.
You just said above you are using this “%postname”…
And I gave you a page in the Codex (read the whole stuff!!!) which says: using %postname (alone) can make impossible to access pages… (it might even be Pages? – you never know 🙂
The remark abouot using %category was for the originla poster, and again from the Codex:
Note on using %category%
%category% does not work correctly with mod_rewrite in Apache versions prior to 2. If you are using Apache 1, do not use %category% in your permalink structure.

I removed /%category%/ from my permalink and it works!!!
However i’m not happy as I really wanted the category to be in the urls.
Can anyone tell me whats happening and how I might be able to get it to work with this structure: /%category%/%postname%/
-mscwd
%category% does not work correctly with mod_rewrite in Apache versions prior to 2.
which means you have to talk to your host…
I understand (?) that people don’t read the Codex. But when the answer was posted here in the thread 2 times… why do you keep asking the same question, mscwd?

Hello folks!
After two weeks of magnificent time in learning & setting up WP localy I’ve uploaded my blog to server and guess what?
Permalinks not working. 🙁
Using 2.05
I’ve tried:
- checking & updating httpd.config mentioned in codex & restarting Apache
- different absolute or relative paths in .htaccess
- overwriting clasess.php & functions-post.php posted in another tread
- using /index.php/ in permalink structure
- changing vars.php according to some other post
- not using %category% or %postname% (this one is really a pain in the ass… without those values is like not using permalinks at all)
- several .htaccess files prior to 2.0
Local XAMP:
Apache 2
PHP 4.43
Remote:
Apache 1.337
PHP 4.43
Interesting thing is that categories are working…only posts are not working.
I really love the features that WP has and now I understand why so many people are having problems with permalinks & some getting back to 1.5. Without this feature I’ll have to look for another software…and I really don’t want this to happen.
Can someone give me maybe a magical hint?
I am so happy that I will uppercase:
PERMALINKS WORKING!!!
Ok. To make it short:
Last thing that I’ve tried was actually undoing my third point(mentioned in previous post):
overwriting clasess.php & functions-post.php posted in another tread .
I’ve overwritten those file again with fresh 2.05 files…updated permalinks and voila’.
Hope that this will help someone else as I really want that everyone can use this fantastic tool.
