I'll try to be brief and to the point: I have a wp-theme I purchased. It does not allow the menus option... The reason for the questions below, is that I want to convert a high ranking exiting .htm website into a more user-friendly wordpress website. But the two questions below address the only two issues I have because we need to maintain "Exact" page url pathways to maintain the rankings as well as the pages that are already indexed in the search engines such as Yahoo and Google............. If someone types in domainname.com/page.htm and we want to add this page within a dropdown in wordpress, the pathway would look like... domainname.com/category/page.php.... Can't use that! This site has over 100+ pages and we expect to add another 100 or so... Two Questions: How do I change the url pathway to show .html and not .php? (Does anyone know of a plugin for this?) The existing menu allows for a drop down menu but the pathway shows the parent/child path before the actual page name, how can I remove the parent/child pathway and allow it to simply show... domainname.com/page.html (Again anyone know of a plugin for this?) NOTE: I don't know how to change htaccess and if anyone can do this for me, I would be willing to pay for it if you are interested... Hope I am explaining so you understand.. Any comments are appreciated
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/ You say your theme doesn't support custom menus, then, For this you would likely have to place the links into the navigation manually by editing the header.php file. The only other solution is to put the URL in as the title of the page, and then use All In One SEO plug in to make a completely different page title for search engine results.
