[...] I found that boren.nu had a few plugins to try to make this work: the Reduced Rewrite Plugin and the Ungreedy Rewrite Plugin. However, I found that reduced rewrite made my permalinks show up like a regular “posts” page (that is, without the full text and the comment form) and the ungreedy rewrite plugin didn’t work well with subcategories.

I also tried even hand modify .htaccess file, no way it works.

i tried the Reduced rewrite, and still no joy.

I have tried using /%category%/%post_id%/ as well as category/postname…

I’ve tried with my theme and with default theme, no joy. no joy.

Alas, this plugin isn't going to help with %category% problems. Try the Reduced Rewrite Plugin instead.

i have activated this plug-in, but it is not giving expected results.

i am expecting that i can use the
/%category%/%postname%/

as a permalink to an individual entry.

this is giving me a WP 404 error.

I have tried several other strategies/hacks/ideas (from support site) at this point, but none is working.

is it possible to have /%category%/%postname%/ on Apache 1.3 using your plug-in?

Are there other tricks to mix with this?
