   Hello,

   I just upgraded to WP2.0. 2 out of 3 blogs of mine have no problems but I have a problem with the 3rd.

   I'm using permalink structure as /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
   I have no problems with that. It's working good.

   However I use some shortcut urls inside my posts for other posts of mine.

   So before WP2.0 I was using an extra mod_rewrite rule
   in my htaccess as:

   RewriteRule ^(shortcut)/(.+)?/?$ /index.php?name=$2&page=$3 [QSA,L]

   simply I catch whatever url starts with the keyword (shortcut) and match it to index.php with the name=%postname%

   I realized that WP2.0 has a non-verbose structure as
   RewriteRule . /index.php , really cool job but it effects
   my shortcuts.

   So I changed use_verbose_rules to true in WP_Rewrite and recreated the permalink structure but it didn't help.

   Currently my site is down because of this problem.

   How can I make custom permalinks like my shortcuts but still continue using long permalik structure?

   Thank you.
   Ron.

   Instead of using the verbose rules, try putting something like this in a file named functions.php in your theme folder, and take advantage of WP 2.0's internal rewrite system:
   function shortcut_filter($rules) {
$rules['(shortcut)/(.+)?/?$'] = 'index.php?name=$2&page=$3';
return $rules;
}
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'shortcut_filter');

   I am wondering, though, shouldn't it be $1 and $2 instead of $2 and $3?

   One little question.
   where should I include this functions.php in the template?
   in single.php ?

   Just stick functions.php in with the other theme files, like index.php, sidebar.php, etc. WP 2.0 includes any functions in it.

   So what's $3?

   Could I use something like this to make Simple PHP Gallery 1.1 work with this? in the /gallery/ subdirectory I have the following .htaccess file which makes things act all screwy:

   DirectoryIndex sp_index.php

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteRule ^folder/(.*) sp_index.php?dir=./$1
RewriteRule ^file/(.*) sp_index.php?file=./$1
RewriteRule ^thumb/(.*) sp_getthumb.php?source=$1

   I have tried various combinations of things in a functions.php file but with no luck so far.

   Thanks for your help.

    see this thread for a partial solution to integrating Simple PHP Gallery with mod_rewrite enabled.
