I know, I know. I keep putting it off but this may force the issue. The initial 2.0.x releases didn’t work out for me and I rolled it back at the time. I may look at the 2.1.x bits and see how it goes.

FYI – I’ve installed 2.0.1 now, which fixes a permalink problem I’ve been seeing on my running blog, but it still needs the .htaccess hack to make Ultimate Tag Warrior’s tag URLs work correctly.

Are you sure your rewrites are working?

In my .htaccess I put the temporary fix at the top, but without the RewriteCond. This means that it will ignore any existing file or directory that matches /tag or related paths, but it’s just temporary.

You might try inserting a rule to test whether rewrites are working, something like this:

RewriteRule ^test-redirect$ https://someurl [R]

which should bounce requests from https://mysite/test-redirect to https://someurl.

I still haven’t had a chance to look at the 2.01 update and any fixes for UTW, so this may all be moot.

Hmm. Did you get the “RewriteEngine On” and also change the RewriteBase to something appropriate for your site? (i.e. not “/running”)

I have a temporary fix in place on a WP2.0 installation. I haven’t had a chance to see if the 2.01 update fixes the URL rewrite problem.

The discussion and fix are in the comments at Christine Davis’ site:
