   I was wondering if i could get some advice as i am a little lost...

   I would like to persuade wordpress to display all my posts in the following URL format..

   http://www.domain.com/static folder name/category1/posttitle

   1) Can i specify a static folder name, even if doesn't exist as a live category? If so how?

   2) Can i dynamically generate a second folder based upon the main category that the post is in?

   I keep trying to do this but every time i mess it up.

   Thanks

   Custom Permalinks (See Permalinks for documentation)

   Perhaps something like /FolderName/%category%/%postname%/ ?

   Side note: you only need to include "index.php" in a permalink string if your host doesn't support mod_rewrite.

   Sweet, i removed the %category% as some of the posts are in three, four or more categories so it started getting a little too deep for seo.

   But thank you so much.
