modrewrite AGAIN .. nextpage stopped working when I switched permalinks …

when you changed your Permalinks, did WP mention that it couldn’t write to .htaccess and offer you the code to put in it?

No, but I see where you’re going .. let me wipe it and see if I can get wordpress to rewrite everything …

Hmm, no, it appears to be writing to .htaccess just fine. I put in a temporary “category base” and reverted, and both times wordpress rewrote the .htaccess accordingly, but nextpage was still broken in both cases.

Are you using %category% in the main “Common Options”? I thought that guy was only for “optional”.

I’m sorry, I don’t quite know what you mean by “common options”? (I’m kind of a WP newbie.)

My permalinks structure is this exactly:

/%category%/%postname%/

Well, look at your Permalink page. “Common Options” is there ??

And I’m guessing that’s where you have that permalink structure.

If you switch back to year/month/date everything works as expected?

I may be being REALLY “ADD” today, but all I see on my permalinks page is a “Structure:” field and a “Category base:” field. I’m using 1.5 if that’s why …

Anyhow, yes, it works fine if I use the /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ format. Seems like a mod_rewrite issue, but that’s serious voodoo and when I go in there without a good idea of what to fix, bad things happen.

OH! Ok, sorry. Been awhile since I used 1.5x.

So in general your mod_rewrite rules are working, just not when you include %category% in the permalink structure. I can sum it up, but I’m plum out of ideas. Hopefully someone brighter will wander by!

Thanks though, HS! I appreciate it.

Any news on the %category%/%post_name% pagination problem, blakekr?
Can’t seem to find a solution in the forums, or maybe not looking hard enough..
