2.0 not generating permalinks

  • I’ve just upgraded to 2.0 from 1.5.2 and it went really smoothly. The only bug I’ve foud so far is that WordPress is not generating the rewrite rules for permalinks, it just spits out
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php
    </IfModule>
    instead. This isn’t a problem for me as the old 1.5.2 rules are working fine, but I thought I should note it. This happens whether I am using a custom structure or one of the provided ones. I even tried a clean install at a different address (because I modify some of my core files slighty) and the same thing happened. It is not generating them in the text area or adding anything to the .htacces file (with permission 666).

  • Stuarts, when you say “doesn’t work,” could you describe in more detail what goes wrong?

    WordPress 404s are gone from my install. Nonsense URLs work just fine.

    Worse still, feeds no longer work. I had to take the WP1.5 RewriteRules and stick them in the header of my .htaccess.

    I’m not a fan of this new internalization of .htaccesses, particularly because I guarantee you that mod_rewrite handles them faster than PHP.

    “doesn’t work,” means that it either displays a 404 cannot find error if I sue a structure like

    /health/%post_id%/%postname%/

    Or else, if I use /%post_id%/%postname%/ it would display a page, but instead of the post it will show

    Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

    (This also displays when I use /index.php/directoryname/%post_id%/%postname%/)

    Either way, I am very dissappointed. If something as fundamental as this can be missed in a beta testing phase of about six months (I see that the last version of 1.5 was released in August); then it makes me wonder what else doesn’t work?

    Looks like its time to downgrade to 1.5 and take another look in a month.

    couldnt fix mine, oh well, i just did a full re-install.

    And it still doesnt work

    argh >.<

    im going back to 1.5
