Double index.php problem

We’ve recently upgraded our WordPress installation to WordPress 2.8 and realized just why I hate upgrading WordPress! On the 2.7.1 version the NEXT POSTS / PREVIOUS POSTS link at the bottom of the page worked perfectly, but after the upgrade it pointed erroneously to http://www.poiesis.co.za/index.php/Index.php/page/2/. I’m sure you can see the problem there: the double index.php in the URL! The solution to the problem is simple: open the formatting.php in wp-includes and add the following line in the function clean_url after the if ('' == $url) return $url; statement:

$url = str_replace('index.php/Index.php','index.php',$url);

The only problem is you need to remember to add the line again every time you upgrade WordPress.
