Hello!
On my wordpress powered website I did set my permalinks to "slug" cause I use the pages a lot and prefer to have site.com/slug-url-of-page-title than site.com/?p=3 for URLS...
It works fine for the pages but when you click on a post name, it loads site.com/%slug% instead
I don't really understand why.
I did the change under Settings \ Permalinks
Common settings
Default /?p=123
Day and name /2009/04/05/sample-post/
Month and name /2009/04/sample-post/
Numeric /123
Custom Structure /%slug%
Could you help me to fix this?
thanks a heap
review this
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure
you can't use %slug%
to achieve what you want I think you would like
/%postname%/

Excellent Samboll...
They were not as explicit as you as to what to use for the pages....
thanks a lot!
but for some reason, since I did the change, one element in my side bar (a free html text file) it wont appear on any other pages except the homepage..
why is that?

actually, i fixed it.... it was a / story before the url and it would mess the url path... well a bit complicated to explain but easily fixable.
Nice one Samboll
cheers
