Hi,

I thought I had posted this here before but obviously hadn't or you might have been able to explain this a long time ago :-)

I noticed on my site www.accommodation-uk.net/wsn that some of the categories are missing when I click them. I just noticed that it's all of the ones with a hyphen (-)

However, if you go a different route to the page it works.

www.accommodation-uk.net/ws...hire/bourton-on-the-water/ does not work (The requested page does not exist.)

www.accommodation-uk.net/ws...displaycat&catid=10556 works fine.

I am guessing that perhaps this is an issue you have addressed in later versions of the script, Paul? Is it a .htaccess issue?

Regards,

Jez.

Sounds like an .htaccess problem. Are you letting it autowrite? Try resubmitting the SEO settings page.

Hi,



Yes, it's set to autowrite. I tried resubmitting and no change.

Hi Paul,



Regarding this problem, I started going through removing all of the hyphens in in the cat names. Seemed to work fine but now I am starting to notice that some of the sub categories are not loading. Here's an example (this was one that was hyphenated) http://www.accommodation-uk.net/wsn/ross-shire/ It's nor on all of the ones that were hyphenated - some are fine.



Hope you can help as I need to make this site live soon (I have been switching scripts)

Fixed it to fall back to numeric rewriting when the space-rewriting character is found in the category name.

With the category you've linked, it looks like you changed the category names to add "accomidations" but somehow it doesn't realize that. Can't reproduce the problem, but try regenerating categories.
