 * I’ve read every permalinks troubleshooting post i could find all over the internet
   and here. But here’s what’s happening. I have updated .htaccess, changed to custom
   permalinks, BUT BUT BUT the old page id ugly links are still there with the custom
   ones appended to them. So now it is ghastly! And none of my page content shows
   up. Just pulling my hair out, anyone help?
 * For instance how is this for a tweaked out url
    [http://www.opened-ways.com/new/?page_id=118/?page_id=163/index.php/past-events/within-the-temple-of-apollo/](http://www.opened-ways.com/new/?page_id=118/?page_id=163/index.php/past-events/within-the-temple-of-apollo/)

 * oh yeah, running wp 2.8, .htaccess says this
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * permanlinks set to custom
    /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
 * cat and tags left blank
 * have installed and deactivated a couple diff plugins to rewrite urls, but all
   are deactivated at moment.
 * mod_rewrite and allow override are enabled on apache server. no other blocking.
 * so how do i get rid of the OLD default permalinks and force new ones to appear.
 * thanks again, please someone come to my aid!! be my hero!

 * try removing that /index.php bit, that might be throwing the whole system off.
 * I’d also suggest just deleting the htaccess stuff from wordpress and letting 
   it wright it out on it’s own.
 * Just makes sure to do a back up before you do that 😉
