Description
Using the default wordpress theme in 2.7.1, installed in www.mysite.com/wordpress/ .
Create a category (let's call it 'stuff'), and then add posts to that category (let's add 4 for now), and then set Reading-> Blog Pages Show At Most 3 Posts so that there will be more than one page.
Now set Permalinks to Custom: /%category%/%post_id%
so that they will show by Category name and post-id.
Now go to the category page
www.mysite.com/wordpress/stuff
You should see your first three posts, and Older Entries should also be highlighted. If you hover over Older Entries it will say
www.mysite.com/wordpress/stuff/page/2
But if you click on it, you will get either a "Sorry, nothing there" error, or a 404 error.
A possible solution is here:

- Component changed from General to Permalinks
- Milestone changed from Unassigned to Future Release
- Owner changed from anonymous to ryan
- Priority changed from high to normal
- Severity changed from major to minor
it's not recommended to use permalink structures that start with category or postname
The barefootdevelopment solution did not work, but I was able to modify it and work around the problem:
When viewing pages from categories [permalink= /%category%/%post_id% and lets assume the category name is 'stuff' and I want to go to page 2], then $query_string is passed 'category_name'='stuff/page' and it is also passed 'p'='2'.
I had to remove the '/page' from the end of 'category_name', and I had to set 'paged'='2' and had to unset 'p'. Here is the workaround code plugin:
