    Hello,

    I think my permalinks are broken. Specifically, the links to categories don’t work.

    Structure: /%post_id%

    Category base: [blank]

    if you check out http://www.biresource.org, and try to click on one of the categories, the link gets you to biresource.org/category. Interestingly enough, the categories on the right-hand side menu work. Any help as to why? I can post other config details if needed.

    thanx,

    -Sheeri

    After upgrading or making any changes, have you reset your permalinks from the Admin again? Might give that a try and see if the problem persists.

    If by reset, you mean going to Options->Permalinks, clicking “Update Permalink Structure” with the current values already there, and then copying the .htaccess again, then yes, I’ve done that. 🙁 It’s weird, because the links on the right hand side work, in the menu, but not in the articles themselves. It almost sounds like a function issue.

    (ie, link looks like this:
    General

    )

    the_category() is what’s failing, even though wp_list_cats() shows up correctly. (ie, the function called from the article just after “Filed under” is the_category(), whereas for the category listings, it’s wp_list_cats().

    the_category calls get_the_category_list. The function get_category_link gets the link, and the object function cat_name gets the name. So it looks like get_category_link is the problem, but I don’t know how to debug it. . .
