Yup, I did that too – when I went back to scratch and reinstalled, I did it with zero plugins and the default template, etc. Tinkered around with different permalink settings, but nothing worked, so I put it back to the way it was (theme, plugins, etc.)

I just disabled all of my plugins and went back to the default theme, but still no go.

I wonder if it would help if exported my post info… deleted everything incl the databases and start over from scratch?

ugh!

That’s awesome – congrats! 😀

Maybe I’m not doing this right, but it didn’t work for me, though. 🙁

Under Common Options, I’ve selected “Date and Name Base” which displays this in the custom field:

/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Then down in the Options: Category field, I tried both of the following options:

index.php/

also tried

index.php/_/

I also put the code you pasted above into my .htaccess file. I already had a RewriteEngine On line – the hosting company said this should be the first line, but don’t know if it’s necessary since it’s repeated in the code below. My entire .htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine On

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

# END WordPress

Still no luck though…. Hopefully it’s something quick and easy that you can see I’m doing wrong? Help!

TIA

Think it’s a bug with 2.3? This was a fresh install (I setup hosting within a day or two after 2.3 came out, so it was started from scratch… although I did import the content from my wordpress.com hosted blog).

It’s seriously driving me nuts trying to figure it out, lol.
