Hi, I am looking for a plugin with which we can create posts like domain.com/sample-post instead of domain.com/2004/34/sample-post.... I dont want to change that in Wordpress options... as I want to keep the date format as default... but in some cases when we write something which updates regularly then a link like domain.com/sample-post is best.... Please post the link to a similar plugin if exists...
If I understand you question correctly, instead of writing a post, you can just choose to write a page, which will create a static page. It doesn't require a plugin.
Ya I already thinked about that... but if we do like that then its not considered as a post isnt??? But I think its better for SEO as it appears as main content (correct me if am wrong) Do suggest me a better solution.... or I will do like this........
I'm not sure what you meant by "main content", if you want to set up a static page as a home page, you can just create a page, set it as a home page in the admin panel.
Main content means the theme... as when u create a page it will be there in navigation (although we can hide that)... so it becomes an important part of the site.... its what i mean... but correct me if am wrong...
I'd suggest all in one seo as you can designate how the url will be displayed in a variety of formats. It's probably the best.
use this. go to the admin panel > options > permalinks > then type this /%postname%/ in the custom structure box. no space between postname tho so its like postname.
I have already said about that here... I know that but I dont want to do like that.... because I have already started the blog 2 months back and have almost 100 posts... and some of them is ranked well in Google.. so I dont want to change that again.... and its good to see the post on a daily basis... i just need a /post for some entries only.... As of now the only option for me is to create those posts as pages... but i dont knw whether any plug in is available for this purpose.. whcih allows us to choose the /post option while writing a new entry...
If you don't wish to change simply because some of your existing posts are already spidered, use the permalink redirect plugin, which will ensure that all requests for your old url are transferred to your new url structure.
Can you please post the URL for the same?? Also what type of redirect will that do.. 301??? Will it affect my Search Engine Rankings????
Here is the plugin http://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/ It is a 301. So if some of your posts were in the myblog.com/permalink1 type and you updated your permalinks to make your posts look like myblog.com/permalink2, any requests for the old permalink would be redirected to the new one. Ensures that there isn't any duplicate content issues- Google won't see your old permalink structure and your new structure as different urls
Will Google Index all the pages using the new perma link structures???? At present google index my site every 1-4 days... and all my pages are currently indexed.......
I second the endorsement of the plugin in post #13. I used it on my site and it worked like a dream. It's a straight 301 redirect to your new permalink. You retain your place in the SERPs although PR may well drop on individual pages. Yes Google will index all of your pages so don't worry about that. I didn't notice any difference at all in terms of positioning after using the plugin.
Okay thanks for that I will use that plug in for another blog which is a new one.. just to review its working... Thx... will update here
Wow it worked.. this is exactly what i was looking for... I installed that plugin to my new blog http://www.insightarticles.com/ and then changed the perma to /post-name so that the entry http://www.insightarticles.com/2007/10/24/hello-world/ can be accessed now........ ALSO That plugin was useful for another purpose now all requests to http://insightarticles.com/ goes to http://www.insightarticles.com/ I was looking for a way to do that also without modifying .hta by myself... Thanks again I will soon implement this to my main domain www.minterest.com but I have to read something about 301 before... THX REP++ Added
No idea, I'm afraid. I didn't touch that. I'm guessing if you ping the plugin authors or have a look through their site that you might find the answer. Sorry I couldn't help out this time.
Thats Okay... No Problem... Now here is the Update...... I've successfully changed the perma link and activated the plugin... Everything is going fine.... Try http://www.minterest.com/the-yen-carry-trade/ and http://www.minterest.com/2007/09/11/the-yen-carry-trade/ both goes to http://www.minterest.com/the-yen-carry-trade/ Really a great plugin 5 Stars Regarding Paths to be skipped and Path pairs to redirect from and to I think if we want to disable that plugin for some post then we need to use Paths to be skipped and also if we want to do some redirects manualy then we need to use path pairs... this is my guess.... correct me if am wrong.......
