   Is anyone else having an issue with more fields on WP 2.8.4 causing the site to break with 404 errors.

   If I deactivate more fields and reset the permalinks i am able to get things running again.

   I can then activate more fields and it works for a little while. But then something triggers (not sure exactly what function is running) and all my pages (except the front, which is set to a static page) return error 404's. Even if I try type the ID name in the addresses (e.g domain.com/?p=4).

   Seems this coupled with the javascript issues, More Fields is still a bit too buggy for the latest WP install? (which I guess is why it has been approved...)

   Any idea if a new release is being worked on?

   Too buggy, had to deactivate the plugin because it broke all the links in the site and produced 404s in the latest WP version. Bummer, because it was looking like a great plugin.

   Anyone else experiencing this? Using this plugin?

   Be interested to bump this. Haven't come across a solution yet.

   Absolutely an issue! Me too...lost 5 hours of my life on this one. :) For me, WP Super Cache seemed to be a contributing factor. .htaccess files got wonky.

   Like bdiddymc it would be fine for a while, something would trigger it and bam 404s.

   Too bad...great plugin. Hope it gets fixed soon.

   To get it working in the mean time just remove all the url rewrite filters for the plugin. Then just re-save all your fields... :), I also changed my permalinks to ?p={n} and then back to %postname% worked nicely. :)

   @Mitchell you called it with the culprit being the rewrite filters... I changed more-fields-object.php lines 770:778 to the following and it seems to be working now.

   $slug = substr($field['slug'], 1, strlen($field['slug']));
   if (!$slug) continue;
   $key = $field['key'];
   
   $new_rules = array(
   	'$slug/(.+)' => 'index.php?mf_key=$key&mf_value=' .
   	$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1)
   );
   $wp_rewrite->rules = $new_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
