 * Hi,
 * I am using those settings:
    /%postname%.html for custom settings
 * and /%pagename%.html for page permalink.
 * i found up that when i am writing a post and posting it all works fine.
    BUT 
   when i doing the same thing with a page, and press on preview the page, i get
   404 error. The real stange thing is when i change the /%postname%.html to /%pagename%.
   html as well the problem solved for the pages but i cannot access to any post.
 * Any idea what to do… this is with a live working website and i don`t know what
   to do. PLEASE HELP
 * i also attached the .htaccess:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>

 * Hi,
 * problem not solve yet.
 * i found that this only happening on non-english characters.
 * the problem is with the redirect, as if special characters are in the url the
   website will put 404 error.
 * i tried to figure out where to change the functions with no luck. please help
   someone

 * I futher investigate this issue:
 * if %postname% is with custom settings:
    webpages are working only on the encoded
   version but with the non-encoding link it throws 404.(this is a serious problems
   because even google throws 404 on those pages in the webmaster tools.) the strange
   thing is if you make a custom permalink and put the encoded version on it – it
   works both ways (but this is very bad solution to make in every single page)
 * Please solve this issue 🙂

 * Wow. I am having the very same problem! Only, I am receiving a 404 error while
   using the wp-ecommerce plugin.
 * The ‘missing’ pages in this case are the checkout, transaction history and your
   account pages. But here is what I discovered. Maybe this will help you find a
   solution to your problem which may in turn help you help me:
 * When I remove the .html extension from the URL, the page shows up just fine. 
   Have you tried doing that yet?
 * Although, the problem I now find is trying to change the page(s) URL back from
   having a .html extension. Apparently, the .html was ‘hard coded’ itself into 
   the page when I customized the permalinks to /%pagename%.html/.
 * Can anybody out there help us? Anyone? Bueller? 😉
 * Thanks in advance…
