/Êtegory%/%postname% – Possible?

/%category%/%postname doens’t work, it throws the entire thing into a full loop because of subcategories.
So we have structures like:
/category/subcategory
Which is the same as:
/category/postname
It throws it into an endless loop directing it two (actually about 4) different places at once. If you don’t use subcats – no problem. If you do – you’re screwed.
My solution: /archives/category/postname. It’s meeting it halfway.

I ended up using /entry/%category%/%postname% instead (my rewriteBase is /). I wish there was a way to keep a shorter permalink, but I guess that won’t come until later. Thanks for the help guys.

Are you using the latest 1.3? The wp-admin problem should be fixed. Also, make sure you update .htaccess with the latest rules.

I’m trying to get this to work as well.
I’m trying to use /%category%/%postname%/ as the structure
But get a 404 – Object Not Found error?
This is what my htaccess file looks like … and it has the rewrite conditions and rules that rboren mentioned in the above posts — but still doesn’t work.

I’ll try to fix this in CVS tonight. I wish I could get the RewriteConds to apply to the entire block of RewriteRules, rather than just the rule the conds immediately precede.
Note that these alternative rules will avoid all of these problems.
