   Hi there,

   I'm gonna use WP as a CMS, not a blog, so I want to use pages as the website static pages, and the posts the the "news" of the site.

   I changed my permalink to /%pagename%/, and the pages work fine with it. But the posts are not working with this type of permalink.

   What I'm looking for is, on posts to use /%postname%/ and on pages use /%pagename%/.

   How can achieve that?

   Any other suggestions will be warmly welcomed.

   Thanks in advance,
   Zuri

   Change your permalink structure to %postname%
   It automatically assigns a %pagename% structure to your pages.
   Sub-pages assume the structure %parent-pagename%/%child-page-name%

   I already tried it, but when when its %postname%, the pages don't work, I get this when I try to go to pages:

   Not Found

   Apologies, but we were unable to find what you were looking for. Perhaps searching will help

   thanks ousep.

   placing /http:/yourwebsitename.com/%postname%/ into the custom structure field, on the permalinks settings page worked like a charm.
