    1)
    I want to turn off permalinks.

    I searched the support groups and see references to turning off permalinks but can find no where how to do it.

    2)
    I am using wp 1.5.2 on an apache 2.? server. mod.rewrite is turned on.

    This morning I set permalinks as /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/%post_id% and can access no pages. If I empty the .htaccess I can access the home page but cannot access any articles. If I look at a link it is http://www.xxxxxx.com/wp/%20/2005/08/24/248.

    The apache error log has the following enter: "RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters"

    Any information will be appreciated.

    1. To "turn off" your custom permalinks, delete the structure you set up under Options > Permalinks and click Update.

    Thank you for the quick reply, however, I do that - it is a blank line - click update and the .htaccess file is immediately repopulated as if the line had information.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Well I don't know what to say. It is working now.

    What I did.

    prefaced the string with /index.php/ did update - it worked.
    cleared the string to blank did update - it worked
    put the string in as I wanted did updated - it worked.

    So I guess the issue is resolved - just mark it up that strange things happen.
