Well it looks like this is a problem with my server. xampp install fixed it.

I see some versions of apache do have issues with mod_rewrite. ideally I’d like to fix my server but for now I’ll just launch xampp for when I need to test this site and close it when not in use.

Thank you for your help — if anyone has any knowledge of why mod_rewrite wouldn’t work or how to debug it I’m all ears ??

yes

I’m going to try to download lampp and see if that solves the problem, but it seems something is not working properly.

Oh perhaps my server isn’t supporting a feature in apache like mod_rewrite?

Damn, that is enabled…

It’s almost like this isn’t working:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Tried enabling rewrite logging but I’m not seeing anything.

that works! I tried switching back to see if it solves it but no go.

So yes works with the default…. (Although the categories do not work, only posts)

All i get in the error log is that file does not exist… so it’s something with wordpress permalinks or something since it’s obviously not a file…

Nothing obvious, but I’m going to clear the log and check again after my DB update is done.

Yes, I went through that over and over. It’s very odd.

Oh now i understand the filter, it runs a function with the result from the previous!

Thanks.

Regexp is a good idea iculd just do it in the template by getting the link and changing the output.

Im not sure how one could do this with a filter, if you have an example that would be great. I never really got my head around the filters.

Yes I removed them from the core file just as a temporary fix until I can find out how to remove the properly if possible…

I suppose I could write a custom function that redefines the core function?

I don’t know why we want to remove them. Our SEO expert seems to think they are bad for google, because google uses the rel fields in the header.

Nobody?

Okay… not a great solution but I added a check if it is sticky in the search results page. if it is sticky it doesn’t show it…. this will hide invalid hits but unfortunately hides valid ones as well!

Thanks that is extremely helpful! And even easier than I thought it would be!

BUMP!

I found the solution!
