PATHINFO permalinks structure broken in 2.5

[dlo]

The PATHINFO permalink structure /index.php/%category%/%postname%/ leads to a "page not found" error when clicking on a page URL (but not on a post or category URL).

It seems that PATHINFO permalink structure beginning with /index.php/%category% or /index.php/%postname% or /index.php/%tag% or /index.php/%author% is broken for pages in WP 2.5 when it was valid in WP 2.3.3.

To get access to the pages, you have to change the PATHINFO permalink to /index.php/%year%/%category%/%postname%/, for instance.

It looks like I found the solution:

Add a test in init() function of wp-includes/rewrite.php to check if we're using PATHINFO permalinks and thus, generate verbose page permalinks.

Code snippet:

if ( 0 === strpos($structure, '%postname%') ||
			 0 === strpos($structure, '%category%') ||
			 0 === strpos($structure, '%tag%') ||
			 0 === strpos($structure, '%author%') ||
				$this->using_index_permalinks() )
			 $this->use_verbose_page_rules = true;
		else
			$this->use_verbose_page_rules = false;

Corrected rewrite.php for PATHINFO permalinks

(In [7665]) Handle pathinfo structures when determining if verbose page rules should be used. Props dlo. fixes #6650 #6570 for trunk
