Hmmmm.. Great! Come to think of it, I've never tested it out on my other blogs though. They have postname permaling structure. About that category permalink, yes, I've read about the performance issue thingy a while back. Didn't change it back then since I didn't want to break my offsite links. Didn't know about anything about redirection back then. Thanks for reminding me about it. Will look into it soon. Then perhaps test out the shortcode thing on the new permalink structure.

Also, I have tried a clean install (new DB, new WP files, and using the default theme) with the same results. But, I have figured out that, at least for me, your method works with your custom permalink settings only (category/postname), and not with any of the other preset pretty permalink options. By the way, you should read this WordPress Codex page about starting permalinks with the %category% tag. http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure Skip down to the "Structure Tags" subsection and read what it says about the %category% tag.

Have you ever used any plugins that could have changed how WP deals with redirections?

Apart from that, I’m not sure what could be causing your problem. Have you tried on a vanilla install of WP?

The rules are in my .htaccess file. For some reason, this does not work on both my development site or my production site. The first, I've setup from scratch and can control the Apache configuration. The second, I have no control over. Yet, the results are the same. I've even tried this with the default Kubrick theme--just in case it was my custom theme. Finally, I deactivated the few plugins that I use to see if one of them could be causing an issue. Yet, no luck. I've been kicking this problem around with an Apache expert on a support forum, but he's as baffled as me. .-= Jeff Sayre´s last blog ..<a href="http://jeffsayre.com/2009/12/21/oauth-buddypress-and-privacy/" rel="nofollow">OAuth, BuddyPress, and Privacy</a> =-.

If so, are you using the most up-to-date WP version? I ask this because I cannot get the simple RewrireRule to fire.
