URLs end with “%pos”, go nowhere

    I have set up my Permalinks with a custom path, “/blog/%post_id%” for the article links, and “/channel” for the category pages. Permalinks to individual articles and to category archives work perfectly, e.g.:
    https://aldoblog.dev/blog/399
    https://aldoblog.dev/channel/haightlife/
    However, links generated by wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’) or get_calendar() end up with a “%pos” placeholder in the generated URL, instead of a working link. So a link to my October archives are at:
    https://aldoblog.wp/blog/%pos
    The calendar’s back-one-month link from November goes to:
    https://aldoblog.wp/blog/%pos
    (i.e., the same place). And an individual day’s link goes to:
    https://aldoblog.wp/blog/
    It seems like all of the date-oriented generated URLs are basically hosed in some way.
    Using WP 1.2.1, PHP 4.3.x, MySQL 4.0.x.
    Thanks for any insight or help!

    Michael, did you correctly apply the changes to your .htaccess file? Also, we’ll need to real URL to correctly diagnose what is really going on.

    In 1.2, permalinks that do not include day, month, year will break the archive links. Fixed in 1.3.

    macmanx, sorry for not including live URLs, I haven’t made the WordPress version of my blog live yet, it’s just a localhost version where I’ve got aldoblog.wp set up as an alias to localhost.
    rboren, that sounds like the problem, just a bug. Not a huge deal, I’m not planning on using the archive links, but I would like the calendar, eventually.
    Thanks!
