In reply to: Default and custom permalinks not working correctly on WP2.0It turns out, it’s a known bug with a fix:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2123I guess next time I should check first.

In reply to: NO 404 page. Whatever address you type in WP2.0This makes sense and I expected this to also fix the problem on my site. But it didn’t. I think it’s because of my particular permalink structure: /%category%/%author%/%postname%/
I think setting var $use_verbose_rules = true; helps with the troubleshooting though. In the new verbose .htaccess file, I see:
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]
I see the exact same line on my WP1.5.2 site’s .htaccess file where I use the exact same permalink structure. So, it seems that querying a non-existent category in WP1.5.2 correctly returns a 404. However, on WP2.0 it doesn’t. Surely, this is a bug.
Next, I need to figure out how to fix this. Or at least, find a way to make the powers at be take notice.
EDIT:
Arrgh! It’s a known issue!
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2123
I implemented the fix and now it’s fine. I should really learn to check for known bugs first!

2. The search plugins are great! The page is very useful too! Thanks!!
3. RSS? Hmmm… I knew one day I’d have to figure out this whole RSS thing. Off to Google…

In reply to: Problem with Category PermalinksIt’s possible. You can see it working on both my WP1.5.2 site: http://www.cal-family.org and my WP2.0 test site: http://wp2.cal-family.org
The permalink structure I’m using is /%category%/%author%/%postname%/.
It works fine on WP1.5.2. BUT, there’s a problem with this permalink structure on WP2.0. I’ve described it in detail here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/56559

In reply to: Default and custom permalinks not working correctly on WP2.0Petit, thanks again for checking. The theme I’m using for my test site is exactly the same as what I’m using for my normal site. The links to the pages have been manually put there and exist on my website. On the test site, they don’t exist and should return a 404. But they don’t. This is exactly the problem I’m referring to.
My permalink structure is /%category%/%author%/%postname%/. What WP2.0 is doing wrong is that whatever I type after my url is treated as a category query. Example, http://wp2.cal-family.org/about-this-site/. This is a non-existent page. But instead, WP2.0 thinks it’s a category. And even so, rather than give me a “Category not found” type of response, it just shows all the posts with the Category empty. Just as you’ve discovered.
I really wish some one the WP2.0 developers would have a look at this thread and comment. To me, this is a flaw in the implementation of permalinks and should be fixed.

In reply to: How to list categories by author?Thanks for the advice! I’ll try this out when I have some time. Your sample code will probably give me ideas on other possibilities.

In reply to: Archives by YEAR (this is different!)Kafkaesqui, thanks for the code. I managed to get it done somehow but your code looks cleaner.

In reply to: NO 404 page. Whatever address you type in WP2.0I believe the problem is related to how WP2.0 handles the permalink structure and/or how the .htaccess file is now setup. I have a more detailed description of the problem here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/56559

In reply to: Default and custom permalinks not working correctly on WP2.0The theme I’m using is Falling Leaves but I don’t think it’s related to the theme. I noticed the same behavior with the default themes. The link to my site is mentioned in my first post: http://wp2.cal-family.org.
This problem doesn’t affect the “Date and name based” permalink structure which is what you’re using.

In reply to: Default and custom permalinks not working correctly on WP2.0Thanks for checking out my site. I was also hoping that someone else could try this on their own site to see if this is a common problem or if it’s specific only to my site.

In reply to: How to list categories by author?I’ve found that the Level Ten Blog Matrix plugin can do this: http://www.leveltendesign.com/blog/blogs/wordpress/plugins/blog_matrix

In reply to: NO 404 page. Whatever address you type in WP2.0Exact same problem here on my WP2.0 test site. I have a 404.php file but it’s not used. This is one of the reasons I haven’t upgraded yet. Has anyone been able to fix this?

In reply to: Archives by YEAR (this is different!)This is just what I was looking for! But, is there any way to exclude future posts? Meaning, if I click on this year’s archive, I don’t want to see any posts with the date later than today. Is this possible?
