se friendly url on wordpress

how do i make my wordpress urls search engine friendly? is there a mod i need to install?

 

You don't need a mod, you can customize your URLs via the admin interface.
In "Permalink options" if I remember well.

 

No, You don't need to install anything extra. From your admin CP of WordPress go to Option > permalink.

 

You just need to change the permalink structure.

Oh so there it is. Im a forum person. And its just recently i decided to make my own blog. Thanks guys.

 

After install Wordpress login to admin section
1) Click on Option Tabe
1.1 Click on Permalink Structure(customize)
1.2 In Common Option Select radio button Date and name based

This Custom Permalink Structure is best & search engine friendly

Of course you will also need acesss to your .htacess file, i also recomend using the "custom" option in permalinks ( /%postname%/ )

 

I agree with VishalVasani about the Date/Name based suggestion above. However, I set my wordpress site up with a slightly custom structure as follows -
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%category%/%postname%/
- which is almost the same. The Date/Name option comes out like this -
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
I like to have the category name in the URL, even though I don't have much in the way of categories.

At my host, I didn't have to do anything special with my .htaccess file. Either Wordpress altered this file or it was already set up properly ... *shrug*

 

Your file was writable, which is why wordpress did it auto.

 

Everything works fine now. I edited the htaccess file and i chose the day/post format.
