My Permalink is not replicating the correct url

    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.

    Thanks, Shane. Forgive me, what is htaccess and where do I find it?

    regards,
