 I use the following permalinks structure: /%category%/%postname% . If
 someone accesses to this page http://www.domain.com/holidays/my-super-
 summer-time , then in his browser '''manually''' erases the postmane to
 come to this http://www.domain.com/holidays/ , there is a 404 error,
 because it should have been http://www.domain.com/category/holidays/
 instead.

 To solve this, I've personnally created redirect rules in my .htaccess
 file, but, I think, WP should edit this by itself in order to prevent this
 error. Here is an example of a redirect rule I use in the .htaccess file:
 {{{
 RedirectMatch permanent ^/holidays/$
 http://www.domain.com/category/holidays/
 }}}
