category seems case sensitive?

    Hello,
    I’ve been slowly creating a new site in wp2:

    http://www.bcct.org.au/new

    And I have a fairly standard category navigator in my site:
    <?php wp_list_cats('optionall=1&children=0&exclude=1,14&hide_empty=0' ); ?>
    and in a link to ‘News’, it links to the url:
    /category/news
    ..which throws a 404! (and yes, there are already 3 posts under that category)
    the link to ‘Productions’ works fine, and links the same way.

    on testing, i found that if i rewrite the URL to ‘News’, it works!
    …so, what’s with that? Is it a server setting, did I code something wrong? should i have some other magical thing written into my htaccess?
    This project is approaching deadlines rapidly; any help would be appreciated.

    thanks!

    Under Manage > Categories, edit that category and see if the “Category slug” is all lower-case.

    Thanks for the response, Kafkaesqui –

    The category Name is “News”; the category slug is “news”. So, yep, it’s all lower-case – but still not working!

    any ideas, anyone?

    Since no one responded, I’ll just say:

    Maybe look at what plugins you have running. Beyond that, nope. You might try submitting a bug report on it (after making sure this is not a plugin issue):

    http://trac.wordpress.org

    Try to give as much info as you can about your server, WP setup, etc.

    I figured it out – the url wasn’t very nice!
    the ‘new’ of the directory, and the ‘news’ in the category conflicted.

    i raised a ticket, just to let ‘them’ know.

    :o)
