Oh no!!!! Now its working but my links from other sites have stopped working as they point to the old urls and for some reason they dont automatically redirect to the new url!! I have to change it back to without .htm and let the 404 errir continue :(

I read the comments and Ezio’s comment -

If you make the permalinks like: /%category%/%postname%.html
and then at bottom where it says Category base put: /category
and that’s it, works fine, pages works as well.

Now its working but if you could incorporate it into the script so it works straight away then it would be good as if I install into a new blog some months later I will forget and have the problem again haha!

/%category%/%postname%/ is not working for me. I get a 404 errror when I move from first category page to the second page.

Please advise!!!

Ok the plugin works, when I click on a link, I have the right page.
But google said it is a 404 error. I installed the redirection plugin (http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/), and I have the 404 logs :

February 11, 2008 /wow/paladin/ / x.x.x.x Add Delete
February 11, 2008 /wow/paladin/ /wp-admin/edit.php?page=redirection.php&sub=40 x.x.x.x

So all the paths modified with top level categories are 404, but I’ve got the right page… (For articles it works perfectly, no 404, only for the categories)

This plugin is great, it was what I was looking for, but I doubt if we can remove it from /page/x for which only leaves the number of /x

Thanks

Hi,

This plugin doesn’t work with “Now Reading” plugin (see robm.me.uk), which creates its own tables in the database and rewrites links to a “site root/library/” base. Hope you can fix this.

First of all thank you for your work - this plugin is VERY helpful.

I was having the same /page/2 pagination problems with this plugin, as well as the alternative Category Base Killer plugin.

Thanks to Andrew, one of the commenters above, the problem is now fixed. Anyone with this problem should install the plugin as stated in the instructions. Then go to Permalinks and change the permalink structure to be:

/%category%/%postname%.html

and change the category base to be:

/category

Then click save permalink structure. That’s it. Thanks Fortes and Andrew!

Seems to work ok, but there is a bug where it isn’t able to go back to pages after page 2. It just list “previous posts” and keeps sending you to “www.yoursite.com/category/page/2″. Is there something I have configured wrong?

Unfortunately it’s not working for me, using the %postname% permalink structure, and all the categories just send me to 404 pages :-(
