I love many things about WordPress, but their upgrades suck. About 2 weeks ago, WP notified users that an urgent security fix was required. I put it off as long as I could, but last night seemed like a good time to try it. I have 2–count ‘em 2–test sites. I upgraded both of them with no problem. then I repeated the process exactly on my live site and permalinks broke. Anyone trying to link to one of my posts received a hideous 404 error.
