I accidentally typed the wrong page URL but instead of Apache sending a 404 error, I got a page that seemed like a half completed single.php but with no content. The body class didn't contain "four04" and I think thematic got a little confused.</p> <p>After much messing about I think I've found the cause. My permalink structure was set to:</p> <p>/%category%/%postname%/</p> <p>If I change that structure to something like:</p> <p>/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/</p> <p>...the problem goes away and I get the proper thematic 404 page with search box.</p> <p>As an experiment I installed Hybrid on the same server but a different domain (with identical config files). Hybrid doesn't get confused by:</p> <p>/%category%/%postname%/</p> <p>...and correctly shows me its 404 page.</p> <p>Anyone any idea what's going on? </p>
