Hi all. Thanks for all the pointers and tips throughout this thread. I think Ive managed to get it working properly, although, even with the patch my side bar links are /?p=<number> and not /index.php?mainpage=wordpress&p=<number> and if I try to change the permalinks within wordpress it gets really confused and wont display anything properly!

Anyway, to help others get towhere I am, ive put a small howto together which hopefully will get some people up and running, even if the permalinks are not right yet.

heres the link http://www.techize.co.uk/news/57-how...er-nicely.html

Now if someone might help out and show me how to get the permalinks working properly I would be for ever greatful! The site that wordpress is on is here http://www.papatheo.co.uk/.

Many thanks to all.

Jonathan
