Thanks for trying. It randomly exhibits that problem and I can’t get it to stay broke. I would think that long redirect address above with all the wp-smilies might offer a clue. Perhaps once more people are using the 1.3 nightly, somebody else might exhibit a similar problem.

Nope. Installed the 8/11 nightly to fix trackbacks and my permalinks got screwed up. I installed the 8/17 nightly to fix the permalink problem, and now randomly I’m logged out and style sheet formatting disappears. Worse, visitors trying to comment on my site are randomly redirected to a login page, but I don’t require logins to comment.
In retrospect, I’d rather have the trackback problem.

A co-worker told me the formatting was gone this morning on my site. When she tried to post a comment, she was redirected to a login screen (it’s the WordPress login screen but it’s unformatted). She’s a visitor that shouldn’t have to login to comment.
Here’s the link she was directed to:

It’s similar to the one I was directed to, but not the same. And while I couldn’t reproduce this bug yesterday with Podz, today it seems it’s happening to more than one person. I’m still running the 8/17 nightly; I didn’t make any modifications to WordPress last night.
Podz, can you take a look at it again this morning?

It happens both from my work computer and home computer. Although there’s a firewall with both, I don’t believe cookies are limited at either location.
One of the fixes I tried last night included deleting all cookies and clearing my cache, but the problem was almost immediate. I loaded my home page fine, hit refresh, and the style disappeared and I was logged out. Clicking the login button gave me that extended redirect link I listed in the original post.

Thanks for trying. :/
I hate it when stuff won’t break on command.

It’s still happening to me this morning from my office computer. Perhaps the behavior is different when you are logged in.
I’ve turned on registration; can you login and surf around and see if the formatting disappears on you?

I guess the nightlies aren’t generated nightly. ??

Allusion – yes, I had the same thought a few posts back. I just don’t know what to change it to.
2fargon – aha! That’s *exactly* the problem I’m having!

I’ve put Alex’s style switcher and added my blogrolling list back in since it was pretty obvious the problem is not a custom index.php problem. I have the same problem with the default index.php file.
What else might cause the permalink to be blank? How does the_permalink get filled with a value? The other variables – the_author, the_category, etc, are filled out.
I suspect I can’t revert – the database changes are one-way. Can I mimic the default permalink in my wp-admin options, and is it possible that might help? Is so, what is the default? Something like /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ maybe?

Is my problem the same one as the one listed here?

Beel, can you suggest a way for me to fix this manually? Can I create a customized permalink that mimics the default?
It bothers me I have a blog that nobody can comment on and I’d like to fix it quickly. I probably should have waited until 1.3 was released, but I wanted to fix the trackback problem I was having.

Interestingly, I can load the latest post directly; https://www.chasingthewind.net/index.php?p=299 will take you to the lastest “Oops, Technical Trouble” post. And from there, I can post a comment.
But the links from the main index.php don’t point there.

I don’t know what that means. ??

If I had to guess, the problem starts here in my index.php:
<div class="post">
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
This is where the permalink is broken. I haven’t made any changes to “Edit Permalink Structure” in the admin pages.

Did you look in the dryer?
