   Just installed a fresh WP 2.6 and noticed a strange problem: when I set a page title/permalink name to just numbers (ie: '1', '44', '123456') and give it a parent page, it fails to show up.

   If the page isn't a sub page, it'll show up, otherwise the immediate parent page will load instead.

   The Settings > Permalink settings are:
   

   Custom Structure : /news/%postname%
   Category Base : /categoryTag Base : /tag

   So, all news posts should be at /news/postname while pages should ignore the /news/ and simply be /postname/.

   Changing the structure around gives me these outcomes:
   

   Custom Structure : /news/%postname%

   '/parent/55/' only loads '/parent/'.
   

   Custom Structure : /index.php/%postname%

   Everything works fine.
   

   Custom Structure : /index.php/news/%postname%

   '/parent/55/' only loads '/parent/' again.
   

   Custom Structure : /%postname%

   Everything works fine.

   Anyone have any idea what's going on? I thought I'd just hack at the htaccess file, but there's little there to change
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /wp/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Help?

   FYI: the Default permalink structure /?p=123 makes everything work fine, but is less than stellar as a permanent fix. Also, I'm on Apache 2.2.9.

   There was a post earlier about WP not "liking" numbers only post titles... I just can't find it, sorry.
