#2965: Permalinks with category may give a 404 error if /category/ is not in the
URL

Reporter: PozHonks | Owner: anonymous

Priority: low | Milestone: 2.0.4
Component: General | Version: 2.0.3
Severity: minor | Keywords: permalinks category 404
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
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/
}}}
