   I've a site that I'm developing here:
   http://www.lighthousemotel.co.nz/wordpress-update/
   (yeah it's pretty old)

   The URL structure I have is fine %/postname for all pages.
   When you click on news(blog posts) though I would like it to be /northland-blog/post-name/ so something like %category/%postname. But by doing so it breaks the whole site.

   How do I do this? ( I've read through the online docs - but it doesn't seem to cover this with static pages ).

   Hi,

   Refer these article:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_SubPanel

   After changing the settings..if you receive 404 message on old posts then add this code in htaccess file:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   I've read through the documentation and it doesn't help me in this case.
   The thing is Pages don't have/can't have and that is a category. Blog posts can. So when I do %category%/%postname% the site falls over.

   Still head scratching.
