The link you provided doesn’t work because it doesn’t fit the format of what the rewrite rule is trying to accomplish. (As you thought might be the case.) The rewrite rule provided will take a URL like this:

http://www.tecnonauta.com/2006/01/17/microsoft-da-software-gratis-para-migrar-de-lotus-notes-y-domino.html

And redirect it to this:

http://www.tecnonauta.com/microsoft-da-software-gratis-para-migrar-de-lotus-notes-y-domino.html

Notice the difference with the slashes. What did your URLs look like before you changed the permalink structure?

I have not experienced the problems hinted at in the codex. I suspect that might have been a problem with WordPress versions before 1.5. I have not seen it happen in 1.5 or 2.0.

At first I did go crazy writing 100 posts per week. In fact at first just writing one post per day seemed like a huge chore. But now that I’ve been working at it for some time I’ve become more efficient at writing quality posts. I still wish I was more efficient, however I’m getting better all of the time.

I knew Aquarius was associated with flying (Pegasus, the winged horse), however I didn’t know it was associated with gadgets. Good to know, thanks!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([^/]+)/?$ /$4/ [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php

An example of a link that doesn’t work is this:
http://www.tecnonauta.com/20060117/microsoft-da-software-gratis-para-migrar-de-lotus-notes-y-domino.html

(sorry, the perma is terribly long). I’m thinking now that perhaps the rewrite rule does not work because I compacted year, month and day all in one subdirectory /20060117/ (2006, january, 17)?

Once again thanks, any help appreciated… it break my heart to see the “Error 404 no found” message.

BTW, have you experienced any problems with the %postname% only perma? Any instance of the issue the codex talks about, not being able to read the CSS?

Thanks and greetings… also, you have a very polished, nice design in your ‘family’ of sites… The Blog studio does nice work. Don’t you go crazy writing 100 posts in a week? It’s admirable

Cheers,

Sebastian

I upgraded to WP 2 and this continued to work fine. I would suggest backing up your .htaccess file, creating a new blank .htaccess file, and letting WP rebuild the contents of that file via the admin panel.

If that doesn’t work maybe let us know the URL of the site and what your .htaccess file looks like.

I a running WP 2.0, have changed permalinks to %postname%, and have tried both solutions suggested and neither works. Have tried both of them at the beginning and at the end of the WP-generated rules, and still I get that dreaded File Not Found 404 error.

Any ideas? Who can think of a rule that works under WP 2.0?

Any help greatly appreciated!

I was getting similar 404’s until my implementation.

Sorry for all the comment spam
