Hi, I have wordpress blog. I Changed its Permalink for post .. like site/year/month/post name.html & it works fine But in Category pages .. URL comes like :- site/category/Category Name But i want that The Category page should come like Site/Category Name How can i do that ?
Why do you add .html? When you add an extension you are telling the world what kind of file it is. WordPress pages aren't HTML, they are PHP. So why would you intentionally put the wrong extension on them? Are people searching by adding ".html" now. Like "new cars.html"? I don't get it.
I get what you are tell me & i know what i am upto by doing it. But that was really not my Question But I know WP is PHP & it dosent give Extension like "new-cars.PHP". So for optimising page i have added extension .html & i am not the 1st one to do that.
Revert your URL structure back to it's original format. Disable all plug ins that have anything to do with restructuring your URL or permalinks. You should not be getting a double category. Leave the category base blank. If you have made any hard code edits to the core that restructure your URLS's, unchange them. Then set your permalinks as you wish. You should not be getting a double category, unless you have a category named "Category". ____________________________________________ About that .HTML thing: WordPress URL's work just fine out of the box as long as you don't add a bunch of unnecessarily crap to them. This is why I asked about the .HTML. I know you aren't the first to do it, but the reasons that people do it are based on bad information. The one thing that WordPress spends a lot of time on, is determining what URL structure is good for SEO, Content Management, and organization. And then some people take all of that time that they spent to insure that you have the most beneficial structure and throw it out of the window for some article with misinformation. You guys keep trying to reinvent the wheel and you are actually doing yourself more harm than good. And here you are with a URL problem because you are trying to reinvent the wheel. A simple URL structure is the best. Faking your extension will not help you with SEO and where ever people keep reading that is false. Google, Bing and Yahoo could care less what is on the end of your URL. They are actually looking for clean, organized URL's, not reverting them back to the 90's, when everyone was trying to rank in Alta Vista. SE's have gotten better. Not worse. Thinking that after all of these years, advancements in technology and countless mathematicians working on ground breaking algorithms, and patented equations that are performed by banks of super computers, that something so simple and insignificant as adding .HTML is a way that you can trick them into ranking you higher is ridiculous. The reason that people started using this method has nothing to do with getting page rank, it was to keep what they had. Webmasters that were converting old HTML websites to Wordpress sites needed a way to keep their old URL structure that had .HTML on the end of the pages, so that they could keep all of their indexed links and inbound links to their pages. Basically recreating their OLD link structure and matching each of their old URL's. Somewhere along the sea of misinformation, WordPress users started deducting that there was a correlation between the .HTML extension and why certain sites rank higher. When in fact the real reason that these sites rank higher is that they have been online longer and have built up SEO over time. Adding .HTML was a way to keep that. Not get that. So when I see new WordPress sites doing this, it's pretty ridiculous. Technically there is no reason for it. Google is in the business of matching search requests with relevant search results for users. Google is NOT in the webmaster business and they are not in the website ranking business. When you realize that Google and the web in general is about the people that use it and pleasing them, and not your website ranking, you will attract more traffic. I'm not picking on you. This is for the benefit of any noobs that may be reading that think they need to alter their URL structure from the way that WordPress already does it. It doesn't make your site rank better. Good content, and good backlinks make your site rank better.
