In reply to: Permalinks in 2.6.1 still not workingOk, I found another solution that worked for me, though not sure why it worked… but it did.
When setting up the 2.6.1 blog, instead of going straight to the Permalinks tab in Settings first (as I did), go to the “General” page first.
In the field “WordPress address (URL)”, change the url to either have the “www” or not. Click “Save Changes” on the bottom of the page. Then change it back. Repeat, at least to get it to whichever you’ll want your blog.
Then go back to Permalinks, and use /%postname%/ (as I chose), or whatever format you wish. Bingo. It now works.
Apparently, tinkering with the url settings in the “General” section first, causes WP to create whatever necessary thinga-ma-jigs that are needed to do the permalink stuff. (Pardon the caveman terminology, it’s 5 AM)

In reply to: Permalinks in 2.6.1 still not workingSame problems for me. A 404 Error.
Not even desertmagic’s solution of using %PATHINFO% worked. (but thanks for posting it — it may work for some, which is a good thing).
My other blog is running fine on 2.5, and custom structure:%postname% works perfectly.
Created a new blog, v. 2.6, and permalinks would not work. Heard the permalinks was a common problem, and 2.6.1 would fix it — didn’t for me. I hope I don’t need to revert back to 2.5 for the new blog, but it beats having numbers, dates, and symbols in the URL (for this particular site)…
