#4519: Permalink Bug with Widgets
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  hgurol   |       Owner:  anonymous
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new      
 Priority:  high     |   Milestone:  2.2.2    
Component:  General  |     Version:  2.2.1    
 Severity:  blocker  |    Keywords:           
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Its a very fresh installation of 2.2.1(problem was also there in 2.2) with
 NO plugins and with the default theme, running on w2k3(iis6), mySql 4.1
 and php 5.0.4.[[BR]][[BR]]
 1- Right after the fresh installation, I goto Options/Permalinks and set a
 custom one as ''"/index.php/%postname%/"'' [[BR]]
 2- I goto Themes and Widgets admin page and choose some modules to be
 displayed. Doesnt matter what ever modules I choose, I tried many
 different combinations.[[BR]]
 3- Permalinks works on the user interface.[[BR]]
 4- I make a blog post. Still permalinks works on the user interface.[[BR]]
 5- I make a page post. The permalinks for the pages doesnt work. Any page
 link returns ''"Sorry, no posts matched your criteria"'' error.[[BR]]
 6- I go back to Options/Permalinks admin page and try to change the
 permalink style to something else. Anything, for example the pre-defined
 ''"/index.php/archives/123"'' style. It asks me for a confirmation that if
 I really want to change my permalinks style. Weird, it doesnt asks me for
 a confirmation every time but whenever Im asked for a confirmation, I have
 a permalink problem. The times that it does not ask for a confirmation, I
 do not have a permalink problem.[[BR]]
 7- Anyway, what ever style I choose to change my permalink style after the
 problem, it only sets to the default ''"/?p=123"'' style.[[BR]]
 8- When the permalinks changed to default ''"/?p=123"'' my pages are there
 and the links working proper. Changing the permalinks to something else
 does not work even though it says it has been changed successfully. Im
 locked with the default permalink style but it least the pages are
 working.[[BR]]
 9- Starting over. Fresh installation again. Thinking the custom permalink
 style was causing the problem. This time Im gonna try one of the pre-
 defined permalink styles.[[BR]]
 10- I choose pre-defined ''"/index.php/archives/123"'' permalinks this
 time.[[BR]]
 11- Repeating steps 4 and 5(first a blog post then a page post).[[BR]]
 12- The page links always loads the homepage. No error message but my page
 links are still not working, they just keep loading the homepage.[[BR]]
 13- Can not think of a relation with the browser but still want to test
 with latest Firefox. Ohh, by the way Im ''''happily'''' using IE7, so Matt
 should sleep well.[[BR]]
 14- Firefox results are the same.[[BR]]
 15- Starting over, this time on step 2 Im choosing some modules on the
 widgets page. I do apply the changes. But without doing anything else, I
 remove all the modules, so it turns back to its default state. I do apply
 the changes. Widgets should be disabled now.[[BR]]
 16- Going thru the other steps now and the problem is still there !!
 [[BR]]
 17- Starting over with fresh again. Im not touching on anything that has a
 reference to 'widgets'. I can not produce the problem.[[BR]]

 I actually did more tests but the bottom line is; whenever I use widgets,
 sooner or later, I trigger something and my custom permalinks do not work
 for pages. I could not manage to produce the permalink problem when I do
 not use widgets.[[BR]]

 I can provide more tests and/or information if needed.[[BR]]

 thanks...
