After I upgraded to 2.5 Photopress permalinks stoped working. Nothing helps. I’ve tried to update permalink structure over and over again. Anybody got same problems? * [knotmyline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knotmyline/) * (@knotmyline) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728343) * I have a Page only site with no posts and mine is all fouled up too. I even switched to a different static page as the main page and deleted the old page I had used. Now, new sub-pages are given the permalink of the original (deleted) page. What is worse, I am prevented from editing the incorrect content of the peralink. Who the heck thought that was a good idea? Yuck! Is it time to retreat from 2.5? Shades of Vista – I left that and went back to XP. * [mchuge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mchuge/) * (@mchuge) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728344) * I had the same problem too but it fixed itself when I changed permalinks back to the default setting. I would say this is either a bug in WordPress 2.5 or the themes we’re using. * [ackilles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ackilles/) * (@ackilles) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728345) * Same problem here where the default links work but using custom permalinks gives a 500 error. *sigh* This bug is a BIGGY and now I’ve gotta restore my site to an earlier version and NEVER trust doing an update without researching it again 🙁 * [blogpire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blogpire/) * (@blogpire) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728346) * Would a theme make it so PAGES become POSTS? All of our PAGES are now POSTS – we have about 5 and the permalinks redirect to the POSTS that were pages. * [http://www.zerohourmktg.com](http://www.zerohourmktg.com) * We can also not PUBLISH a new page. We can save it as a draft – but that’s it. Also – we get blank page.php when we even save a draft. Then when we refresh the PAGES interface – the draft is saved. * [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gangleri/) * (@gangleri) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728347) * > Using only %postname% > If you use postname as the only element in your permalinks > to create a structure such as example.com/post-title, the rewrite rules may > make it impossible to access pages such as your stylesheet (which has a similar > format) or the /wp-admin/ folder [is this true in WordPress 2.0+ versions?]. > It’s best to include some numeric data (e.g. the post ID or date) in the permalink > to prevent this from happening.

But this is what happened: * 1. 3 Days ago our PAGES became POSTS 2. We then checked the database and the PAGES are POSTS not PAGES 3. We then upgraded – and the PERMALINKS Updated the PAGE URLS to point to POSTS because I think it’s just a feature of the rewrite 4. Now we can no longer POST PAGES or POST POSTS 5. we are on 2.5 – and before a few days ago had over a year of smooth sailing. * [vtsnow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtsnow/) * (@vtsnow) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728353) * We’re using /index.php/%category%/%postname%/ and are having the same permalink problems with pages. I hope this bug gets fixed soon. * [lysernix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lysernix/) * (@lysernix) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728369) * Yes… we are having the same problem. I’ll keep checking back here for updates… please help… * [Magi182](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magi182/) * (@magi182) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728382) * My permalinks aren’t working either after upgrade to 2.5.1. I am also using: /% year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ for my permalinks. Permalinks to pages are hosed — especially pages that are children of another page. Permalinks to posts work OK. * [Organica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/organica/) * (@organica) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-permalinks-problem/#post-728389) * On a new install of 2.5.1 (only plugin running is No Flash Uploader, to get media uploader to work!) am getting a Bad Request error when trying to set the permalinks option * `/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/` * Don’t ever get to the “if your .htaccess file was writable…” message.
