Sounds like it must have, but it’s hard to say what is gong on without seeing the code.

Just wanted to note that while I am familiar with programing, I have only very limited experience with PHP.
All in all, I’ve spent more time trying to learn MT’s template tags and getting MT to do what I want than I have spent learning PHP. Still, I’m having no problem adjusting to WP.
Even if WP used template tags, they wouldn’t be exactly the same or behave the same as the MT ones do. Template tags or php, either way you are going to have to get used to a new system.
The main problem that WP has is not the php for template tags but that it’s documentation isn’t complete yet. Better descriptions of what some of the tags do would help a lot, but I can see that it is getting better and holes in the user docs are being filled in over time.

Playing around with it…
Doing things like in one of the examples (/%year%%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%/%postname%) works just fine.
Changing it a little to switch a slash for an underscore (/%year%%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%_%postname%) and the monthly archives quit working, but the comments are still there.
Change it a little more to closer to what I want to do (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%_%minute%_%second%/) and the archives still don’t work and the comments are no longer there.
Very strange. Unfortunately I don’t understand mod_rewrite well enough to try and fix whatever is wrong myself. I’m trying to get permalinks to be the same as I have them with MT… something like https://maybe.iotoeuropa.org/archives/2004/05/01/14_02_51.php

I have no help to offer.. but I am having the same problem with both comments not being visible and links to monthly archives not working when I mess with the permalinks.
It’s running on Red Hat Linux 7.2….

I don’t see why the php would matter in this case, but deleted it anyway. Made no difference ?? I wanted it there just because I was trying to match the files from MT so that all the links within and to the seven-hundred or so entries will stay the same.

Oh it is a url problem. Crapola. Well at least now I know where to focus my attention…
I deleted my permalink info through wordpress and then deleted the .htaccess file. Comments were back and everything worked fine.
I then re-entered the permalink info (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%_%minute%_%second%.php), created a new .htaccess file, and copied the contents of the little box (a dozen or so lines) to it.
Once again the comment stuff disappeared.
The link is now https://www.iotoeuropa.org/wordpress/2004/05/01/15_27_05.php#comments as I changed it slightly.
It seems like a simple process; what in the world could I be doing wrong?
I’m using 1.2…
