[wp-hackers] new WP_Query filter with meta_value and with pagination - unexpected behaviour

Tue Apr 27 03:58:50 UTC 2010

I have better determined what the problem seems to be. The strangeness of it
is that its behaviour seems to change from computer to computer. The problem
seems to be with the permalinks. Using the default permalink structure I
should see the following permalink on the first page pointing to the 2nd
page:

http://mydomainname.com/?page_id=27&paged=2

And on the 2nd page:

http://mydomainname.com/?page_id=27&paged=3

On 3 out of 4 PC's I do see that, on the 4th the page_id parameter is
missing. All 4 PC's are looking that the exact same page pulled from the
exact same wordpress installation. All are using windows, all are using the
same version of firefox. No plugins are active.

In the instances when it is working it stops working if I change from the
default permalink structure to  a custom one.

Is this a known bug? I see references online to permalink issues and
pagination, but none of them quite describe what I am seeing.

If it is a bug, the references I am seeing go back to 2006 (part of why I
think its not the same bug)? Any idea when this bug might be fixed?
