   Hi

   I am trying to custom my permalinks structure, however, when I do this for some reason my post pages get a 404 error, apparently this is because somehow I doubled up my domain url in my permalinks and set every post link to exactly the same broken url.

   Is there anyway that I can custom my permalinks and have access to the blog page.

   Please have a look Spanish http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk

   Thanks a lot

   What custom string do you want to use?

   For example

   http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/books in stead of http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/?page_id=536

   when i do this the page http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/?p=254#respond

   comes http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/spanish-aid.co.uk/?p=254#respond and then is when i get the 404 error.

   thanks for your reply

   Hi,

   Add this code in htaccess and have a check:

   # 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.

   First, turn on the regular permalinks and get that to work before trying to use a custom string.

   Sorry guys but it did not work. I did what Shane G suggested. and I am having the same problem with my post. The rest of the pages work perfectly but for some reason, when I click on one of my post the url duplicate itself http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/example#respond and I get the 404 error. I am going to leave it as it is so you can have a better look before I reset the permalinks to the default settings

   Thanks again for your help

   See, every single post permalink you have is wrong and set to this:
   http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/example

   What in the heck is in your custom permalink string? Because you obviously have set it incorrectly or something.

   Check your Settings->General page. Do you perhaps have something there with only one slash instead of two?

   Does your custom permalinks string contain that whole http thing? It shouldn't.

    Hi Otto

    I have checked my General setting and everything looks ok to me.

    this is what I have

    WordPress address (URL) http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk
    Blog address (URL) http://www.spanish-aid.co.uk

    My custom permalinks are like this.

    Custom Structure /http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    Do you thing I have to amend somthing?

    Thanks again for your help

    Otto man

    I just got it, I know what it was, I was putting the whole url again on my Custom Structure. I have deleted /http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk and know is perfect. Sorry about this I thought I had to put the whole url when setting custom permalinks

    Thanks

    There's your problem.

    Change your custom structure to this:
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    Just that. Not all the stuff in front of it.
