First, a ran­dom thought:
“What you do speaks so loudly that I can­not hear what you say.” Ralph Waldo Emer­son
And now, the actual content:

Ack! I upgraded to the lat­est ver­sion of Word­Press (2.5) yes­ter­day, and now one of my favorite plug-​​ins (Now Read­ing) isn’t work­ing! You can see the books I’m read­ing at the moment over there in the side­bar, and I can get into the admin­is­tra­tive inter­face, but the library dis­play doesn’t work. Any of the actual book or author pages come up 404. Meep!

It isn’t just on this blog, either—Fibrant Liv­ing has the same problem.

The WP admin­is­tra­tive inter­face has been com­pletely redesigned. I’m not sure what might have been changed behind the scenes, so I’m a lit­tle wor­ried about try­ing to go back to the pre­vi­ous version.

I’ve posted mes­sages in the plug-​​in author’s forum and bug tracker. I’m hop­ing to hear from him soon! Rob actu­ally responded in the com­ments, and the new ver­sion resolved the prob­lem. Yay!

I found your site through the Now Read­ing forum, and I’ve had the same prob­lem. After a lit­tle research, it looks like it has some­thing to do with the rewrite rules with Now Read­ing, and Word­Press 2.5 ignor­ing the rewrite rules Now Read­ing is try­ing to use. For the moment, I’ve turned off the “Use mod_​rewrite enhanced library?” option in Now Read­ing; you can access the books and library, the URLS just don’t look as pretty. I think a newer ver­sion of Now Read­ing may be com­ing, as Rob seems to be using ver­sion 4.4.2, but the high­est release he has avail­able seems to be 4.4.1. Any­way, just let­ting you know you’re not alone, and shar­ing my tem­po­rary fix.

Thanks, I’ll try that.

I’m using 4.4.2, down­loaded from the sub­ver­sion directory.

Looks like you’ve got it work­ing! I see that Rob has 4.4.2 avail­able as the main down­load now, so is that what fixed it? I have been wait­ing to upload to 2.5 until this was fixed.

Thank you for the pic­ture of Mal­colm… *drool*

I hope you get your tech issue sorted out :)

I did, with some help.

Isn’t he a doll? I couldn’t han­dle watch­ing the last sea­son of Buffy, because he was cast as such a hor­rif­i­cally evil character.

Good­ness gra­cious, Caleb in Buffy really, intensely creeped me out!
