Is there a way to change the permalink structure to be more SEO friendly. I was hoping for something more like /%post_id%//%postname%/ but that doesnt work on my site.
I just installed the newest version of wordpress today.

PATHINFO permalinks with index.php are used for Windows IIS servers without mod_rewrite.

It means that if your site is on a Windows IIS server, you may be stuck with having index.php in your permalinks.

Posted 1 year ago #Here is what I did to change the default permalinks to ones which it creates the post date, them post name (I got this info. from the book "Wordpress for Dummies" by Lisa Sabin-Wilson, pages 143-146).
It worked for me!!!Log-on to your Dashboard
Click Settings (right corner)
Click Permalinks
Select option 2 if you want date and post name or select the custom option if you want to write yor own.***VERY IMPORTANT - make sure to change your permissions to your .htsaccess file!***

Posted 1 year ago #Ok, did you try to use (instead of option 2) the custom permalink option>

Posted 1 year ago #Yep. Any time I take out the index.php it doesnt work.
