To clarify (for deletedpenguin) my posts are no longer visible. The resulting error “No posts matched search criteria” is all that’s displayed where the post content should be.
All the other items (header, footer, sidebar etc.) are all displayed correctly, but my content from every one of my pages is no longer displayed since the upgrade to 2.5

Sorry – just realised some typos above but the ‘edit’ function is not working so to correct it:-
Posts work fine. Pages do not display. The error message ‘no posts matched search criteria’ is displayed instead of any content from a page, but all other posts and template functionality is ok
As a result, anything I had on a dedicated page (e.g. contact form) is no longer displaying/accessible.
Anybody out there?
I’ve got 34 pages on my site, so as you can imagine i’m distraught at the moment. Theres no way i can change my permalinks now either as i have over 100 posts and before i changed to index.php/postname they weren’t being found by the search engines.
If anyone has any ideas what to try please reply
I’m having the same problem as well. I’m pretty bad at all this fancy stuff, but I’m on a Mac OS X and I would loooove to have my links working again….
I was able to fix mine. The culprit was the wp-sticky plugin.

Deletedpenguin: Unfortunately I don’t have the wp-sticky plugin installed so I’m still at a loss.
Pitchslap – I’m in the same boat. I’ve over 2 years of content and 800 posts/pages on the site and the thoughts of having to manually backtrack through all that is not appealing.
Mods/Developers – any ideas on this folks? How can we fix this?
I’m having the same problem with pages in 2.5. When I go to any page it, it is not found. I’m on IIS 6.0 and am using /index.php/%postname%/ as my permalink scheme. If I remove the index.php and just use /%postname%/ pages work, but posts do not. Changing the permalink scheme isn’t really an option anyway and this works fine in current version I’m using (2.1.2).
I had to revert back to my previous version until a fix is found.

Has anyone from the WP team even acknowledged this error exists yet, or is it just a bunch of us users stumbling around in the dark at the mo?
c0y0te, I think it’s “just a bunch of us users stumbling around in the dark.”
I’ve upgraded two blogs fine, have been working with 2.5 trunk for weeks on my local copy (upgrade went well there), and now, when upgrading my main site, things mess up. http://justintadlock.com
I’ve tried everything I could possibly think of and have browsed the forums for hours trying out everything I could find but no luck.
Basically, I can’t access anything on my site, except for the dashboard. I just get 404 error messages. I’ve deactivated all plugins, changed my permalink structure to default, changed to the default theme — nothing works. I’ve been using WP for almost 3 years now and have never encountered these type of problems.
The only reason I upgraded is because it went so smoothly on my other blogs.

Well, I’ve now gone ahead and taken out a new hosting contract with a linux hoster, registered a new domain name and have started another thread looking for help/advice in doing the migration because I can’t be arsed with this any more. It just looks like WP is not IIS/Windows happy, and never will be.
But I have to say in 2+ years of being here on these forums and using WP, this particular upgrade is the worst I’ve seen for bugs and a lack of response, which is a real shame as it’s such a big step up from 2.3
Like yourself I upgraded my test site (also Windows/IIS) first and it was fine, but when I did the same thing on my live site it buggered the pages but kept the posts for some reason.
Hi.
I have the same problem. I upgraded to 2.5 and pages stop working with “no post matched criteria” message on body, headers, footers, sidebar, posts, and everything else works. In my other server with the same configuration it works after upgrade.
Any clue on this?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge
I’m having a similar problem, except that my site keeps redirecting to https:// for some reason–and Firefox tells me:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Here’s another part of the puzzle that makes me think it’s something to do with permalinks:
.../wp/?p=4&preview=true
will correctly display the page, but
.../wp/?p=4 redirects to https:.../wp/?p=4 and an error message.
Why would preview work but not the actual post?
I finally got mine fixed (http://justintadlock.com). My database seemed to be the problem because every time I done a new install in a different directory or the root and using that database or a copy of the database, I had the same 404 messages.
Basically, I had to do a clean install of WP 2.5 and upload my posts with the WP admin import/export feature, which wasn’t fun because I had to break all my content down into about 10 .xml files to upload (upload limit at 2MB on my site).
I still had to keep my users, and luckily, they transferred over fine to a new database, except for about 50 out of 400. Not too big of a loss.
I’m investigating and had found that if I change my permalink wp works.
Right now I’m using: /index.php/%postname%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day% that doesn’t works. Default works, also /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%
I think that WP 2.5 can’t differenciate a page from a post if %postname% follows index.php/ anyone knows where WP 2.5 checks the url to apply permalink?
Can you post your permalinks that doesn’t works so I can confirms my thoughts?
Thanks
