 * Did you ever find a solution to this? Does anyone have any ideas? The closest
   thing I’ve found was this article:

 * You were really close. Use cat= followed by a negative sign and whatever category
   id you want to exclude.

 * I had the same problem, with the exact same error. I checked my new WordPress
   install and compared it with an older install that I had updated to 2.6.3.
 * It appears that the new install is missing the wp-includes/js/tinymce folder,
   along with several other js folders. I’m not sure why these folders were not 
   uploaded with the first install, but it happened twice, because I reinstalled
   WordPress the first time the tinymce didn’t work.
 * I uploaded the tinymce file, and the subfolders didn’t upload. So I went in and
   uploaded those too. So try uploading just those missing folders in the js file
   and make sure the subfolders upload too.

 * I have the same problem. Any ideas on how to get this plugin to work with WordPress
   2.6?
 * Update: I got this to work. I had to go in and issue a SQL command to give read
   access to my WordPress database user because I am running two databases (one 
   for WordPress and the other for PHPBB3). Instructions for this are included on
   the Installation instructions.

 * I upgraded to 2.6.2 hoping the permalink issue would go away. It didn’t. I have
   a linux server and any permalink with %postname% in it is not working-shows 404
   error. Never had this issue previous to 2.6 release.

 * Same exact issue here using Linux hosting. WordPress is in a subfolder called
   blog. I tried all documented changes and nothing worked. All pages go to 404 
   when any permalinks other than default are enabled.

 * Okay, I messed around with 2.6.1 and this is how I got my pretty permalinks to
   work again. Previously I was using %postname% and it broke. Tried using index.
   php/%postname%/ and that didn’t work.
 * Solution:
    Use custom structure: %PATHINFO%/
 * This will yield the following permalink:
 * [http://yoursite.com/postname/](http://yoursite.com/postname/)

 * Add me to the list. My permalink structure was %postname% and now all pages are
   going to a 404.

 * Thanks Samboll. I understand I won’t see any effect. But I’m running a membership
   site with WordPress housed within amember. Amember is not syncing with WordPress
   because of the auth_key, secure_auth_key and logged_in_key . I already added 
   the info to amember, so I just want to make sure there’s nothing else I need 
   to do with auth_key, secure_auth_key and logged_in_key besides just adding them
   to wp-config? I’m going to submit to amember too, but their site is down…so any
   help is appreciated.

 * This is the code the worked for me:
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com
       RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
       ```
   
 * Change the word ‘domain’ to your actual domain name for each line. I inserted
   into my the htaccess file, which already had some stuff in it. So the final code
   looked like this:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com
       RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
