Permalink Tweaker in 7.6.5.1

@jrothra

When you implement the permalink tweaker it redirects URLs to the new base for whatever pages, posts or category archives are selected.

And for your 404 above, you should not use date base archives in Permalinks / Settings we suggest custom and /%category%/%postname%/ but these two scenarios are unrelated. If you use the permalink tweaker it will create new rewrite rules for your .htaccess.

I suggest you check how your categories are set up.

@jeffrey,

I’m not sure what you mean about checking how categories are set up. When I write a post or page that needs a new category I just created it using the “Category” section there in the post/page writing section of the dashboard. Otherwise I just select the proper category form the checkbox list.

As to the permalink, I use /%postname%/ rather than category/post or date/post. Could that be an issue?

Also, I’m not sure why, but for some reason people or bots attempting to go to the date/post version are not redirected to the domain/post version. Is that a plugin issue, WP issue, or something I’ve done?

@jrothra:

It could be a conflict between native WordPress redirects and a plugin you have that could be pulling from the same hook (not sure).

I was saying that you needed to determine what and how permalinks were set up, and you said (custom) since you are using /%postname%/ so, are you removing any category bases in the Permalink Tweaker module? and do you have conflict resolution set to page?
