Funnily enough, it seems to be working now with the “Day and name” option! And now I know why it didn’t work earlier: if you haven’t chosen a posts page in the “Settings >> Reading” section, it displays all the pages on one page instead of the 404 page. When you choose a posts page from the dropdown menu in “Settings >> Reading”, the error pages start to work properly.

However, it’s a bit annoying to have a page for the posts if you currently don’t need a blog, but at least the error page works now.

Ok, so now I solved it by choosing the Custom Structure for permalinks and putting just /%postname%/ there. Then it displays the error page when you go to a page that doesn’t exist.

However, now obviously the blog entry permalinks don’t have the year, monthnum and day. For example, a post named “Test” is now https://www.example.com/test instead of https://www.example.com/2008/03/30/test

If someone manages to solve this without having to remove the year, month and day, please, let us know.

I have the same problem with 404 pages as yorokobi.

I’ve also tried disabling all the plugins and whatnot, but haven’t been able to resolve this. I use the “day and name” permalinks.

This is a fresh WP 2.5 installation.
