Hello Friends, Few months early i create a site in word press and hosted on linux server but my every page is opening with a id not with name i want to every page should open with name or title But i don't know how to update htaccess file. Please advice me all steps related to same requirement. Looking forward from you Thanks a lot.
are you talking the 301 redirect? The permanent url redirect, if you don't know what it is. If that's what you need take a look at this hxxp://3timesdoubleu.isitebuild.com/301-redirect.htm hope it helps
There are 2 parts to your problem. 1. To get pages to open with a relevant url go to wordpress dashboard, settings, permalinks and click on custom then enter: /%postname% this will add your title of each blog into it's url I actually use /%postname%-%post_id%.html This appends a number - so that you don't get problems with multiple posts using the same title. And the final .html makes it look like a web page 2. Redirecting traffic from backlinks pointing to original urls to new ones. You can redirect using a number of different methods, including using a plugin (that I haven't tried) - but whatever you do it either gets messy or takes time Unless you have lots of backlinks, it may not be worth the effort Setting permalinks is the first thing you should do when setting up a wordpress blog
