Changing Permanent Links

Let’s try this again. I was using the wrong parameters in the get_posts() function (post_name should have been name and posts_per_page should have been numberposts), so WordPress was ignoring both of those parameters and just running a general query for posts.

Here is some updated code that appears to do what it should http://pastebin.com/5jD9nxLj

Let me know if this works for you.

That’s really strange. I’ll have to set up a test site with parameters similar to what you have set up and see if I can figure out what the issue is.

There’s something funky going on. I just set up a new test environment and set it up with the same permalink settings you indicated above, and it worked out of the box without me having to add the 404 code I’d been working on.

If you visit http://wp-testing.ten-321.com/another-post-with-everything-in-it/ you’ll see that it automatically redirects to http://wp-testing.ten-321.com/56/another-post-with-everything-in-it/

I am using the standard TwentyTen theme with no plugins or modifications on that site.

I wonder if something in either your theme or one of your plugins is stopping that functionality from working properly.
