Is this possible on wordpress?

I want to know if I can do this on wordpress. For instance if my site is www.example.com, I would like to make a section dedicated to seo. So that part should be www.example.com/seo/. Then under this section, it would have its post.

As of now, I know wordpress has this www.example.com/seo/blogging , but for seo to be in the URL alone, it would become www.example.com/category/seo/.

So my main question is how can I remove category to view only seo posts?


If it is not possible, what CMS should I use to do this.

 

You can kind of do that with WordPress.

The category bit can be changed to what ever words you want via the permalinks page.

On this site http://www.free-recipes.co.uk/ I used the word cook-books (with multiple words you hyphenate them) so categories look like this-

http://www.free-recipes.co.uk/cook-book/a-recipes

On new WordPress installations I try to choose words that help most pages, if I can't think of anything I sometimes use the word tags instead.

Only problem with this for you is all your categories are going to start with cook-book (or the words you use).

If you definitely want it so only SEO is used for the SEO section you could create blog Pages instead of blog Posts (WordPress has two types of posts). Using the Pages option I built this SEO Tutorial section at http://www.seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial

All the Pages under that section are child pages of the seo-tutorial page and so have this URL structure: http://www.seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/web-site-optimization

Which is what you want.

David's given you the right advice here ... yes, it's easy to do with the Wordpress "permalinks" structure (look in WordPress for it under the Settings section of the Dashboard -- you can create a custom structure).

You'd just have the structure www.domain.com/category/post-name/ -- and your category could be seo -- so any posts in there becomes www.domain.com/seo/post-name/.

Info here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks describes exactly what you're after.

 

True, but if I want to see all the post in the category of seo, the permalink would be www.example.com/category/seo. I don't want that. I want www.example.com/seo .

 

Where I suggested adding SEO under the permalinks setting for the category base you could use a symbol like a hyphen (-) to give a structure like:

example.com/-/catname1/
example.com/-/catname2/
example.com/-/catname3/
....

so your SEO cat would look like:
example.com/-/seo/
example.com/-/seo/post-name/

Not exactly what you want, but very close.

I've used this on a couple of sites.
