Use the script found here: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ Because WordPress serializes some urls in option and meta tables a simple replace won’t do. A siple replace will break your data. This script will preserve your data and replace it with a new url. I use it al least twice a month.
The — to an mdash conversion happens inside wptexturize() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wptexturize which is applied to many things (including taxonomy titles and other functions output. Look for places you might want to remove the filter from in wp-includes/default-filters.php and remove the filter with the remove_filter() function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_filter
The permalinks by default are output relative to the site’s blog posts index (aka ‘page-for-posts’, aka posts page). You’re using a custom page template for the static page Section/News. That static page is unrelated to the site blog posts index. That’s why the permalinks don’t reference that page. If you want your permalinks to reference … Read more
If I understand you, don’t use ‘localhost’. That only works if you are testing from the same machine that is running the server. (A virtualized machine counts as a different machine.) Give your server (the machine running the server) a static IP address– something like 192.168.1.5– and use that instead of ‘localhost’. That will work … Read more
Call get_stylesheet_directory_uri() for the current theme, or get_template_directory_uri() for the parent theme of a child theme, and append your file paths to that. $url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/images/my-icon.png’; $url = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/images/my-icon.png’; Edit: To determine whether you’re in a plugin, a parent theme or a child theme, compare the folder you’re in (via dirname(__FILE__)) … Read more
This is about a year over due. I have had a similar thing happen on my new word press install. Creating pages dynamically and getting incremental numbers on the slug names. During this process I realised that the original slug would access the last one. ie. ../../dynammic-page would access ../../dynamic-page-4 The solution was in the … Read more

Sorry I didn’t follow up on this. You mentioned you weren’t using date archives. You can change the date archive structure to remove the conflict with /%postname%/: function wpa_change_date_structure(){ global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->date_structure=”date/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%”; } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpa_change_date_structure’ ); So now after permalinks are flushed, date archive URLs will be prefixed with date/, so numeric postnames will … Read more
Sharing my thoughts on multiple issues you mentioned. Hoping one or two of the following would help… Firstly, you may visit your site’s wp-admin/options-media.php and uncheck the option “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” Why can it only be attached to ONE post/page? An image can be attached to any number of posts … Read more
