   Hi All,

   I am embarking on a wordpress CMS type mission these holidays and I wish to find out if the pages created in wordpress (not posts but PAGES) have urls? When I click the pages generated by the 'pages > add new' form the URL is something like '...?page_id=2' which works, but is there are actual page created or is the page content just stored in a database and displayed in a template page?

   I wish to use these page URLs (in one format or another) in a custom made menu which will be static so it is important to have definitive URLs for the pages the menu items point to.

   URLs with keywords in them are handy for SEO too (eg. 'these_are_keywords.php' vs. 'page_id=2') but thats by and by.

   Thanks for reading!

   Every single bit of info in or about your blog is stored in the mysql database.
   The url's are basically sym links stored in the db - posts or pages, whatever. They are real in that you can link to them and browsers canfind them. :>)
   You can safely link to any post/page on your blog.

   Also you can choose the desired permalink/url you want in your admin settings.

   Hi Samboll,

   Thanks for the great response. I have read up on the permalink situation and think i have it under control.

   Thanks for your help!
