   Im using the Miniml theme, and WordPress 2.7
   After a while, having added posts and pages, and for no apparent reason I started to get this error:
   "Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/www/lizmckeon.com/test/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 105"

   Is this a 2.7 bug?

   The error above appears when this code is executed on home.php:
   <?php echo(get_category_parents($catz, TRUE, '')); ?>

   And I think has something to do with the permalinks, as when I go back from my custom "/%category%/%postname%" to the default "http://www.lizmckeon.com/test/?p=123" the error dissappears.

   Is there anyone out there with enough knowledge to give me a tip on how to use custom permalinks and still have a beautiful WordPress 2.7?

   I see the same problem after upgrading to WP 2.7. But happens only with one theme.

   bohoe, have you found a solution?

   Yes, I second that error.

   Wordpress 2.7
   get_category_link($cat) returns a catchable fatal error in the various theme pages - index / archive / single when anything other than the default permalink setting is used.

   When the default permalink is used, everything is ok.

   Is there a solution to this or is this a bug?

   I was getting it after upgrading. My issue was that there was a "." in my category name. So, get_category_ID_by_name wasn't resolving and that caused the get_category_link and get_cat_name to fail. Now, it works after much anguish.

   To all---

   When you have pretty permalinks on, get_category_link will take a category object (returned by get_the_category), but when you have it off, get_category_link will only take a category id.

   Also it seems not to want to accept the term_id in the form of the object property ($category->term_id). I've had to first set it to a variable $term_id = $category->term_id, and then pass the variable into the function ($term_id).

   Its pretty easily resolvable on the user end--ust make sure to always pass it a term_id--but its pretty strange behavior for WordPress.

   It probably has to do with certain environment variables not being set up right when the permalink redirect rules are left out.
