Help with mod_rewrite?

  • I tried to post this in the wp-advanced forum, but it said that I need to be a moderator to post there.

    Anyway, I have custom permalinks enabled, which adds the following to my .htaccess file:

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

    I have a category of posts, however, which intentionally don’t have post names (making the %postname% value empty). This causes the permalinks for those to not work. I’m trying to figure out how to create a condition that if %postname% is blank it will use %post_id% instead, but I’m definitely no pro when it comes to mod_rewrite and regular expressions. I’ve tried looking up documentation for RewriteCond, but it’s not really clearing things up for me.

    Does anybody know what rewrites I would need to add?

    Thanks!

  • I have no idea, but why don’t you just put the post ID in the permalink when you make the post?

    The post ID is already in the permalink, but that permalink doesn’t work. (e.g. you click the permalink and it loads up the /archives page) That’s the problem I’m trying to solve with mod_rewrite. (Because the problem appears to be caused by the default mod_rewrite settings that WP uses.)
