No problem. Also have been testing out laterst beta1 and today I decided to make a clean install of nightly build of the code. This are the issues I discovered, divided in three section: 1. - Single Site After installing I realized that in the permalinks section I'm forced to use /index.php whick is hardcoded. dd32 explained in the list that this is because I'm not runing IIS7 or Apache. I had to add a filter to remove it. I think most of all this is wrong to force index.php on anybody and this should be removed. I would have to add the filter in all themes for example and there are stil many using IIS6 with some mod_rewrite compatible software. -- 2. - Single Site I also noticed immidiately, that the wite is stripped with ""www"", which is not that case with 2.9.2 . I don't see why this is done in asible site install at all? I think it is a bug in the single site install. www.site1.com --> site1.com Work, but should not happen in single site mode. -- 3. - Multi Site After that I installed the network to see what is happening there. Immidiately I see that after setting up new htaccess rules and adding a few lines to config, as I should, and I know how to do, the www is not stripped but gives an 404-error in the browser. site1.com works! www.site1.com --> 404-error in the browser. Something is broken. I see in chrome that it redirects me to http://site1.com/wp-signup.php?new=www which gives this 404 error. I go further creating a site (a new blog), testblog, and even here I see a error: testblog.site1.com works www.testblog.site1.com --> This should be stripp with www at least, but instead taking me to the signup-page with ""www.testblog"" as a new blog suggestion. -- So I see something happened the last days, since an install was working just fine, just like current WPMU 2.9.2, but something has changed the whole setup suddenly.
