Thanks for the feedback Amy, maybe I'll change my URIs in 2.5 first to work without index.php and see what gives and then upgrade.

Pre, can't blame the WordPress team too much, they do great work. This bug obviously only affects some people (and not most), otherwise it never would have been released.

The diligence of the WordPress community is shining strong. If you follow the bug report above, you can see it's getting urgent attention.

Oh, nice.

Three times I 'upgraded' and said "what the fuck? How'd I screw that up", restored and tried again.

How are they still pushing 2.6 without a warning on this man?

Thankfully (sort of), when I got bleedin' hacked the other month coz of not upgrading fast enough I started a proper backup policy.

Grr.

I guess sometimes up upgrade too slow, and sometimes you upgrade too fast.

Actually, I just checked some of the pages that I know rank on Google, and they already show up without the index.php thing in them. Yah, I know… surprising, didn’t expect it to be this quick. Also, redirecting seems to work in older links that include the index.php bit.

The only thing working weird for me is my WP Stats, showing just the post #, but no link to it. I also think I've lost my previous data.
