Hi there, Recently I added a blog (wordpress) to a site which is developed in simple HTML. And it was working fine too. I read that if we are placing actual names instead of blog/?p=123 or etc, it will make good search engine attention. But while i tried to give links like blog/index/sample-post its not working. Still now it is showing the "blog/?p=123" like links. Could you tell me what is wrong? See the blog at SEO tips from SEO Experts Thanks in advance.
Just go to your WP admin panel and then Settings -> Permalink Settings (left navigation). You need to change it from there as you want. DON.
Go to where DON said, and try something like /%postname%.html e.g. More reading: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
Hi Don I tried there. Changed to -- > Day and name http://seoblog/index.php/2009/10/07/sample-post/ in this format. But while reloaded the page again its not coming.. showing this 404 Not Found The requested document was not found on this server at Web Server What is this ?
The reason why it is showing 404 not found now is because the htaccess has not been updated. Make sure you chmod the htaccess to at least 666. Then update the permalink structure again from inside wordpress and it will start working.
Also there is no need to add index.php unless you specified in permalinks; Also, you haven't mentioned the .tld in your url. so, it must be something like: http://seoblog.com/2009/10/07/sample-post/
Everything has been made... But still its not working.. again created a .htaccess file put the code inside etc..
