Force Lowercase Blog Name in URLs (4 posts)

    I have an installation of WPMU that uses subdirectories for individual blogs (i.e. http://domain.com/BlogName/)

    The problem is the the name of the blog is case sensitive in the URL. So if you type in http://domain.com/blogname/ rather than http://domain.com/BlogName/ you are presented with the message:

    Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

    I want everything in the URL to be case insensitive and be forced to lowercase, so that if you type in http://domain.com/BlogName/, http://domain.com/blogname/, http://domain.com/BLOGNAME/, etc. it all goes to the same place... http://domain.com/blogname/ and shows all the appropriate content for that blog.

    This thread seems to be similar to what I am looking to do

    but there doesn't seem to be any real final answer.

    Please help.

    What version of wpmu are you running? I ask as this was fixed a couple of times:

    I am using an older version (2.6 I believe) and was planning to upgrade soon anyway. Will this be fixed automatically if I upgrade or will I still have to do some editing for the old blogs created before the Upgrade? Is there a quick fix to this that I can do before I upgrade?

    Having similar issues. (I think)

    Using WPMu V 2.7.(?)
    Linux install

    http://discovery.caryacademy.org/ncais/ Works.
    http://discovery.caryacademy.org/NCAIS/ Does Not Work

    I tried the patches at http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1512
    But that didn't work.

    Is this a WPMu issue or an .htaccess issue?

    Thanks.
