[...] In my last post, I tried to title it 198.1. Wordpress made the post slug 1981, but when I clicked on the post title, I got a 404. A quick google search yielded a plugin to fix this. [...]

[...] I was once again annoyed by the fact that WordPress doesn’t allow dots in post slugs. Luckily, this time I hadn’t published the post with a botched URL yet. (I don’t like changing permalinks because they’re meant to be permanent; cool URLs don’t change.) A quick googling pointed me to a post in the WordPress support forum with a reference to the Periods in Titles WordPress plugin. [...]
What if I want to make an article look like article-name.php to match my older site structure?
Could these lines:
~~
$title = preg_replace(‘|([^.]).$|’, ‘$1′, $title);
$title = trim($title, ‘-’); // yes, again
~~
Be replaced with this?
~~
$title = trim($title, ‘.-’);
~~
Also, these lines:
~~
$title = str_replace(‘-.-’, ‘.’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘-.’, ‘.’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘.-’, ‘.’, $title);
~~
With this?
~~
$title = str_replace(array(‘-.-’, ‘-.’, ‘.-’ ), ‘.’, $title);
~~
Would periods in titles cause problems for feeds or search engines or other [machine programs]?
