Okay, I spoke too soon: the code works fine for serving its purpose, but I use the Thesis theme and every time I visit the admin section for that theme the URL becomes deformed:
http://nintendo3dsblog.com/wp-admin/admin.php//?page=thesis-options
This goes away when I disable that line of code in the .htaccess file.
Could someone tell me where I’ve gone wrong?
Okay, after 1-2 hours of trying I “get it” a few moments after I posted this.
Here’s what I added to my .htaccess file in case anyone stumbles across this post and needs a helping hand:
RewriteRule ^post/([0-9]+).*$ $1
Not sure if it’s the “proper” solution, but it works fine.
