I did not. I ended up writing some Javascript to reverse the order.

Okay, I think I’ve found a workable solution, even if it ends up looking dumb.

With a custom post type of “/%post_id%/%category%/%postname%/”, everything seems to work, even if my blog posts have ugly links like this: “/6901/category/post-slug/”

Nope. My custom post type links become “/blog/book/slug/” and find a 404 page. So I can either use “/%category%/%postname%/” and break my pages or “/blog/%category%/%postname%/” and break my custom post type.

I’ve changed my custom structure to: “/blog/%category%/%postname%/” and now it works. Still don’t really know why… Hopefully it will just keep working.

Preemptive celebration! That did not fix my problem. The site works with ugly permalinks, but my custom permalinks (which have worked for years and work on a bunch of other sites I’ve upgraded to 3.3) still won’t work.

Nevermind. The problem was an overenthusiastic plugin (Mute Screamer).

Occasionally. For the most part, WP is not object-oriented.

When changing the table prefix post-install, it’s important to change more than just the table prefixes. To date, here are the additional values that must be changed:

In the usermeta table, there are several meta_keys:

prefix_capabilities
prefix_dashboard_quick_press_last_post_id
prefix_user-settings
prefix_user-settings-time

In the options table, there is a critical option_name that needs to be changed:

prefix_user_roles

Depending on your install and plugins, there may be more.

Ah, I didn’t realize you were (also) working with an alternate post type.

I got mine to work:

$args = array(	'numberposts'=>-1,
		'order_by'=>'menu_order',
		'order'=>'ASC',
		'post_type'=>'book',
		'exclude'=>$the_id,
		'tax_query'=>array(array('taxonomy'=>'series',
					'field'=>'slug',
					'terms'=>$slug
					))
		);
$series_posts = get_posts($args);

The only difference I can see is that my “terms” isn’t in an array. That really shouldn’t make a difference, though, since it’s definitely supposed to work with arrays.
