Upgrade to 2.8.4 breaks get_permalink()?

    Hello WordPress community,

    I recently updated my blog to WordPress 2.8.4. **

    Since then, a small script I was using to redirect my old Blogger site to the corresponding WordPress post broke. This script had been working for over a year, and I have not changed it.

    Here is the small PHP script:

    <?php

require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');
$search_link = $_GET['p'];
$vars = explode('/', $search_link);
$num = count($vars) - 1;
$filename = $vars[$num];
$slug = str_replace(".html", "", $filename);

$SQL = "SELECT posts.* FROM $wpdb->posts AS posts WHERE posts.post_name = '$slug' LIMIT 1";
$posts = $wpdb->get_results("$SQL");

if ($posts) {
	foreach ($posts as $post) {
		$found_link = get_permalink($post->ID);
	}
}
else
{
		$found_link = "http://www.gangles.ca/";
}

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<script language="javascript"><!--
document.location.href="<?php echo ($found_link); ?>";
//--></script>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=<?php echo ($found_link); ?>">

</head>
<body>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<p>You can also proceed immediately to <a href="<?php echo ($found_link); ?>"><?php echo ($found_link); ?></a>.</p>
<p>The main blog URL is <a href="http://www.gangles.ca/">www.gangles.ca</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>

    The problem seems to be that get_permalink($post->ID) is returning a 403 error. For instance:

    –This redirect returns 403.
    –This one does not, because get_permalink is not called.

    Is this a known issue? Does anyone know how I can correct my script? As I said before, it was working fine for over a year before I upgraded to 2.8.4.

    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Matthew

    ** In case this is relevant: At the same time, I made some minor modifications to my .htaccess file (to force trailing slashes and no “www”).

    Hi,

    First set your desired permalink settings from wrodrepss admin area and then add this code in htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Hi Shane,

    My .htaccess file is already as follows:

    # Redirect www to non-www for root domain
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.gangles\.ca$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://gangles.ca/$1 [R=301,L]

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    Thanks.

    Does anyone else have any ideas why get_permalink() might be returning 403? Any help would be much appreciated.
