    Hi, So I just made my wp blog and have the "all in on seo" pack installed and enabled.

    The problem I am having is it creates urls like these :-

    mysite.com/5/I-have-a-new-post-on-this-niche

    The problem is with the random number it shows at the middle like 5.

    How can I change the urls to something more appealing like :-

    mysite.com/category/I-have-a-new-post-on-this-niche

    OR even this :-

    mysite.com/I-have-a-new-post-on-this-niche

    Thanks and sorry for being a newbie.:eek:

    Read up on permalinks. It's been covered thousands of times.

    change the permalink structure. all in one SEO cannot do this. you need to go into your regular settings>permalinks

    Hi, I am currently using a custom permalink structure of /%postname%/

    So, create a blank notepad doc and call it .htaccess and upload it the root directory of WP. Then, set the permsissions on it to 777 so its writeable.

    Then, go to settings> permalinks in your wordpress admin and choose custom and then cut and paste /%postname%/ there.
    This will give you site.com/postname. If you want the category in the URL use /%category%/%postname%/

    Then change the permissions on your htaccess to 666 I believe. You don't want it fully writeable after you are done.
    hope that helps,
    Nigel
