Anyone know what plug in for WP will create SEO friendly URL's instaed of stuff like www.yoursite.com/pg="4" I want it to be www.yoursite.com/name-of-page
It is already built in. Just go to options and change your permalinks structure. Make sure you include a unique identifier for each post such as %post_id% to avoid collisions.
Proceed to Options --> Permalinks and choose custom. In the blank space, copy and paste this in: /%postname%/
when i did this, the site no longer works when you click on a certain article in the sidebar..........can somebody help? look what happend http://autocockertrilogy.net/
The problem may have to do with your server configuration. For example, i had a similar problem with Netfirms and ran around quite a bit before bugging a coder to develop the Netfirms Pretty Permalinks Plug-in. . This solved my similar problem, which seems to have something to do with the Allow_Override not being enabled. If your sever has a similar issue, then perhaps the plug-in will work for you to.
Problem with mod rewrite, check if .htaccess is present in the root directory and if has an entry for wordpress. Also if I remember correctly, it takes a while for the new htaccess rules to take effect on Godaddy.
Yeah, it's mod rewrite that will cause the problems, or you may not be allowed to use .htaccess plus, this is the structure you should use
Yep, there needs to be this! # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress When you set up the permalinks it should have told you this code and to place it in your .htaccess. Let me know if this works.. it should! This is what does it for my blog. Boulder
That is exactly what you need to do When you change the permalink structure it should have told you to update the .htaccess
Yes, when you change permalinks Wordpress tells you exactly what to put in the .htaccess file in the box under the permalink options.
ok ive tried everything, you can go to the site and see what its doing....... www.autocockertrilogy.net
1. Does the root directory has an htaccess file in it? 2. After changing the permalinks structure, did you copy what Wordpress gives you under the option to paste into your htaccess file? Read this Wordpress Permalink Guideline to solve your problem. After making the changes to your htaccess file, install this plugin, Permalink Migration to your blog to that search engine traffic will find what they want.
Okay it looks like because your having tags, you will need this as the permalink structure; /%category%/%postname%/ It looks like your trying to use just this; /%postname%/ Tags are great and I use them now a lot too.. Yahoo fricking loves tags.. plus they are the new thing! So, just using the post name in permalink can cause issues and I do not recommend it.. I use category/post for mine and you might want to try it as well.. Boulder
Did you try clicking on an article? It still doesn't work!??!?!?! I appreciate all the help from everyone..............Maybe its just a lost cause. Ive tried everything
hey i tried that and its still giving the same error!?!?!?!? = The site is hosted with theplanet ...........maybe they dont support this?
