Hi Kates,

Try updating the category association for an existing page in the wp_post2cat table and set it to the categoryid of a currently ‘sideblogged’ category.

I was able to reproduce the issue using this method.
Good luck.

Hey, Is there anything I can do to recreate the bug? I’ve installed WP and Sideblog countless times creating, deleting and recreating pages and posts but it seems I don’t get across 404 issues. Does the bug occur on newly-created blogs or does it also occur on existing blogs with lots of pages?

I did test it on my localhost, on this server and on my other web servers.

It looks like my comment might have been dropped when you migrated..

In any event, I thought it might be helpful to others to see my fix for the 404 issue. Who knew that pages were actually assigned to categories?? See more here: http://i.ndustrio.us/2007/05/09/wordpress-21-pages-return-404-because-of-sidebar-plugin/

It seems that Sideblog hasn’t been put into the WP Plugin site?

I’m really looking forward to a newer version without the 404 error.

Currently, the 404 error is happening to a page I’m not really using, so I keep Sideblog active since I like this plugin a lot.

Here’s the error I’m getting upon activation of the plugin:
