Home page 404s when URL filter set for pages
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:07 am
I noticed this first on my site, but then downloaded a copy of Bludit to run locally and found that the issue existed there too.
If I set a URL filter for Pages (for example, "/post/" to make the URLs the same as my old Nibbleblog URLs) the home page gives me a Page Not Found error. This happens on all the themes I tested it on (Blog X, Blue and Alternative). This also happens whether my home page is the default list of recent posts, or a custom page.
The problem seems to be that $WHERE_AM_I is "page" when on the homepage while a URL filter is set, instead of "home" like it is when the URL filter is left empty.
