Hi there,

Excellent plugin but I too have run into a few small problems, possibly because I’m using WP v2.2

It all works fine except for pages, for example:

http://phobea.com/news/ - works fine, but
http://phobea.com/news/page/2/ - displays nothing

Any ideas?

It works very well with categories and subcategories but not with the "next" or "previuos" link (aka next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link()). The url generated is something like http://mezzomondo.nelblog.it/page/n but this always lands on the first page. The permalink structure is /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ Thank you for your time, anyway! Great work!

It didn't work when I left the category base blank, so I changed it to /category and now it's working perfectly with categories and subcats on WP2.1.3.

Wordpress uses a number of regular expressions for URL parsing. In my case, I had a permalink structure of /%category/%postname%/. This resulted in Wordpress running into the post permalink structure first, category second. If it were the other way round, it wouldn't be any different. There is simply no way do decide if an URL belongs to a post or a category. Skipping the trailing slash didn't help either, because WP trims it off by default. The only workaround solution I found was to make my permalink structure /%categoryname/%postname%.html I do think, this is one retarded concept, but since nobody wrote something better... Use the workaround and be happy. :P Ok, I’ve done a little bit of debugging (~3 hrs) and found out, why these problems exist. Wordpress uses a number of regular expressions for URL parsing.
