I just had the biggest drawn out drama with Permalinks on Dreamhost. And I don’t know WHO to blame for this. BTW, I have Dreamhost and I’m running PHP 4 and WP 2.0.3.
Thing is, I imported a bunch of content. But when it imported it, it imported the Categories with Uppercase including the (hitting forehead) slugs.
Right….the slugs were ‘Articles’ and ‘Travel’ instead of ‘articles’ and ‘travel’. For some reason, .htaccess DOES NOT like uppercase in any of it’s slugs.
Thats all. Check out your imported data and make sure it’s cool.
I don’t know who did it…I’m just glad it’s fixed!
Oh…and look for spaces, too!
