I have a WordPress 4.2.1 site with CiviCRM 4.6.2, this is a fresh install. I have one event with registration and the default registration page:
?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/register&reset=1&id=1
shows no registration fields. If I visit
aaaaa/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/register&reset=1&id=1
then I see the registration fields or if I visit
event/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/register&reset=1&id=1
or
bbbbb/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/register&reset=1&id=1
where aaaaa and bbbbb are indeed valid slugs on my site. If I visit
ccccc/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/register&reset=1&id=1
where ccccc is not a slug, then I get a 404 Error page.
I have no "WordPress Base Page" set at
civicrm/admin/setting/uf&reset=1
and the wp_users is set correctly as Users Table Name. I have " Your latest posts" set for the "Front page displays" in WordPress so that seems OK.
Something also odd is that the above URL is actually
civicrm%2Fadmin%2Fsetting%2Fuf&reset=1
in my browser. Not sure why...
Also when I visit
admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fevent%2Fmanage&reset=1
it's fine but if I visit
admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fevent%2Fmanage%2Fsettings&reset=1&action=update&id=1
then I get the dreaded

error.
All pages I am testing have www before the myurl.org so that's not the problem.
Any ideas what is going on here?
