Hello,

I am having the same problem.
Did you find a solution?

Good evening,

I read everything and although you did give me doubt about it, I have been keeping a close eye at the result on Google for the past weeks. The site has been online for 3 weeks now and is climbing nicely to first page without using redirection tools or modifying the .htaccess.
About the site itself, I have not encountered any errors while or after posting.

Boh…I don’t really know what to think!

About this:
https://example.com/anything-at-all!/category_slug
Why would someone type that kind of url except someone like us???
Then again I tried it on another site which as not the urls modified and it does the same defect for the articles tipe mySite/myPost is the same as mySite/anything-at-all!/myPost and won’t give error 404.

Hi,

I tried and tested (for what I can) right now this hack proposed by Scribu using as Custom Structure:
/%category%/%postname%/
and as Category Base:
/.

First problem I had:
I had a folder named the same as a category for this reason I encountered the first error. Solution: changed the name of the folder. Easy enough!

Second problem with the archive:
In the home page it would go fine passing from one page to another, instead once inside the categories, it would not find page 2 (as ex). Solution: changing the Custom Structure for /%category%/%postname%.html

I am using WordPress 2.5.1 and tested it on IE7, Firefox 2, Safari 3 (mac and windows) and Opera 9.

With IE6 I get for the categories an url type https://www.mysite.it/./category
still working fine though. Same thing in the sitemap.xml (created automaticaly with a plugin). I edited it by hand but obviously each time I add a new post, the sitemap xml is recreated and it goes back as it was. I don’t know if it could create problem for the search engine. I have to inform me on this one!

I will carry on study this thing.

Regards,

Gaelle
