   I'm using version 2.8.5, which is not listed in "Version."
   On my dashboard, a permalink is created using the title of my blog article. But when you look at the permalink url, there are 4 letters that have been removed from the middle of the permalink link section that you can edit. eg "attra...nmarketing".

   I am using /%post_id%/%postname%/ as my custom set-up.
   Google is then reading my postname minus the middle letters and you are being directed to a page that doesn't exist!
   This is really serious given the back-links I am trying to build and traffic I must create in order to succeed online.

   If you manually copy and paste from the blog itself, the link works because it is not shortened.
   I look forward to input.

   Sincerely
   Clare Kelway

   Hi,

   Set your desired permalink settings from wordpress admin area and add this code in htaccess:

   # 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.
