Page Navigation is not working with permalink structure

Question

i displaying list of employees using my custom plugin, i have set permalink structure like %category%%postname%/ So my page navigation was like http://www.abc.com/emp/?page=2, untill now it was working fine but now it rewrites url like http://www.abc.com/emp/2/.

i have read http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks and try the solution empty .htaccess file and generating it again. but still i am getting same http://www.abc.com/emp/2/ url

as per my guess this problem occurs because i have updated wordpress from 3.3.2 to 3.4 do anyone have any idea how resolve this??

Answer 1

I'm not clear which URL format you want! As you've set pretty URLs permalink, it will be something like /emp/category/page-title (if you've set %category%/%postname%) not like /emp/?page_id=PAGE_ID. Moreover, the permalink structure that you set is for post. The posts will be shown as /emp/category/postname but pages will be shown as /emp/pagename. it should not show url like /emp/2 unless page title is 2.

For detail investigation, please post the permalink structure that you've set in Settings->Permalink section in admin panel and contents of .htaccess that is in emp directory as it apparent that you've installed wordpress in emp directory.
