    Alright I set up my perma url's the way I want, But for some reason one of my post urls are coming out messed up.

    I want it to come out as
    http://mydomain.com/xzibit/xzibit[COLOR="Red"]-[/COLOR]get-your-walk-on/
    Code (markup):

    But instead it is coming out like this
    http://mydomain.com/xzibit/xzibit%e2%80%93get-your-walk-on/
    Code (markup):
    I'm only having problems with one post, all the other urls turned out fine.

    Notice how the url you have it up there has 2 dashes between xzibit and get? Any time wordpress has two dashes one right after the other, it actually translates that into a single long dash. (edit: It's a Matt thing. Something he's bit on and won;t change even though this isn;t the first time this happened.) The problem is when it gets saved to the database, it gets saved as the database friend code you see up above.

    Solution: Edit the post and edit the permalink to change the double dash into a single one.

    Hope this helps
