WordPress 2.5.x 404 bug?
May 8th, 2008
I’ve only worked with 2.5.x a small bit, but recently putting together a site, I found the most annoying and confusing bug. Using just static pages, my 404 page was returning a loop of all of my pages. Odd to say the least. I tried all kinds of things, and as usual, finally did a little googling.
For those who don’t want to bother reading through all of the trial and error, the end result is that unlike in previous versions of WordPress where you could set a static page for home, and not choose a page for the posts, you can’t do it now. You must select some page for your single posts. I’m sure a bug fix will come along, but until then…
