I d moved a blogspot blog to WP using blogger2wordpress tool. Now I have reorganized all Categories and posts but custom Permalink are not working. I'm getting a 404 error. I used - > /%post_id%/%category%/%postname%.html and .htaccess file is updated. Blog works all fine with Common Permalink settings like default, Day and name etc. Anyone know how to get this fixed ?
That's the structure I use for other blogs of mine. Just to avoid duplicates. In this case even when I use /%category%/%postname%.html I get 404 error.
Wordpress and blogger do not operate the same way and wordpress pages do not end in .html. Here's the skinny on setting your custom permalink structure in Wordpress, should tell you everything you need to know: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
You can make wordpress pages end in .html too Just put the permalink you want, and install a plugin called Redirection. It will work!
Hmm extension which ends is not a issue. I have .html for lot of other blogs for years. Never had a problems. like this, http://www.hardcoverbooks.info/241/book-reviews/ice-station-by-matthew-reilly.html But I think the problem is at server. It seems problem is not related to blogspot blog I ve moved.
