Hi there, I'm wondering if this is even possible... I currently have the website www.blah.com I made a new post which I want the URL to be: http://blah.com/talk However I can only manage to be the URL to be: http://blah.com/category/talk I'm trying to get rid of the /category/ ... I have permalinks on, with structure set to /%postname% Can anyone help, or maybe it's not possible?
Go to your Admin Panel then go to Setting then go to Permalinks now you can find Custom Structure option over their just past this: So once you save you would get blah.com/talk. Enjoy.
Basically it tells the webserver to forward all requests to the index.php file within root. That in turn gets the wp software to create the outputted code. Else the webserver would actually go looking for that url as subdirectories within your site.
Ok, well I opened the .htaaccess file and it was exactly how @addlinkurl mentioned. Is there anything else that would cause this problem?
are you using wp with your own hosting or with wordpress.com? You need to have access to your hosting to change your .htaccess.
ow.... so you have to give access 775 for your .htaccess so your wordpress can make change inside. After change permission, try to setting your permalink from dashboard. There are a lot of combination to customizing permalink, please read this article http://otak-komputer.blogspot.com/2009/11/wordpress-permalink-modification.html Code (markup):
I have changed the permissions on the .htaaccess to "755' My permalink is set to custom with the value: /%postname%/ I have cleared my browser cache, and still my links look like www.blah.com/category/talk Does it matter what version of wordpress I'm using, or if I have all in one seo installed?
maybe you need to deactivate all-in-one-seo first. For me, it work properly to make a custom permalink
deactivated all in one seo and it still doesn't work! I did notice however that on the permalinks, under optional it says "Category base" ... it is blank now. but If I put "jabber" in that field then the links will look like www.blah.com\jabber\talk Again, when I leave "Category base" blank the links I get are www.blah.com\category\talk This is so frustrating.
I never meet this problem before, so I can't give you an advice. hope other member can give another way to solve it
i think your bog is: watchtwilightonline.com permalinks works fine in feed: watchtwilightonline.com/feed (watchtwilightonline.com/watch-new-moon-online-full-movie) so, please use the default theme and check the urls. if you still have the problem, create a new directory(/test) and install a new wp into this directory. may be it's a server problem. also i found this solution: http://imod.co.za/2009/08/21/wordpress-permalinks-problem-with-pages/
