So I’ve got several different sites running on Wordpress and about a week ago I started upgrading all of them to version 2.5. I really like the upgrade so far, the admin interface is taking a little bit to get used to but overall I really like it. Now all of my sites seem to be doing fine with the upgrade with the exception of one that I noticed was having massive permalink problems.
This is actually site running of the popular wordpress ebay plugin called PhpBay and I highly recommend it for building some great niche ebay sites to make some cash. It’s the best $49 that I’ve spent in awhile to generated some solid profits.
So I’ve got a few sites running this plugin but only one seems to be having problems with the permalink structure. I’m really not sure what the issue is because some of the permalinks work and others that should be working are pointing to 404 errors that the post is not there. In addition I’ve got lots of other plugins running as well and I’ve made sure they’re all compatible with 2.5, disabled them, and nothing seems to fix the problem. At this point I’m probably going to restructure the whole site anyway to take advantage of some SEO stuff that I overlooked the first time around, but this is still very frustrating because I cannot figure out what seems to be causing this.
If anyone else has had any problems like this I’d definitely love to hear the solution that you’ve come up with. I’m honestly just thinking that something crazy happened during the upgrade since this is the only site that it happened on.

Hey Clarke, Just curious if this has been resolved?
No actually I’ve not figured out what’s going on with it. Tonight I’m going to try to completely restructure the site and fix that problem and do some other SEO stuff as well.
Have you seen any problems with any of your upgrades?
Only the problems that some are reporting with the new EPN……have experienced a few questionable things. I assume they’re getting it worked out….hope so anyway.
Yeah I definitely agree with that. I’ve seen my sales go way down since switching to EPN, not sure that the overall issue is with their new system.
Have had exactly same problems. Older versions of wordpress work fine. I have 4 years’ worth of incoming links that will suddenly die if I change the permalink structure. Let me know if you figure it out.
