• Hello everyone.

    I’m working on a website and have a problem with the permalinks. I set the front page to “home” so now when you go on the website (vanside.de), the link changes to vanside.de/home. If you now click on any of the navigation links on top (e.g. “KontaKt”), the link changes to vanside.de/home/kontakt. which is not what I want (it should only display vanside.de/kontakt).

    In my WordPress settings the website url is set to vanside.de/home (I have no idea why) which probably is the problem. however if I try to remove the /home, the website only displays plain html without any styling.

    I’m using the Elementor page builder if that could be a reason?

    Thank you very much in advance 🙂

  • I suggest asking for support on your theme’s support page.

    okay thank you I’ll try this.
    I just wasn’t sure if that’s something I have to fix in the WordPress settings or if it has something to do with my theme.

    Did you select the page you want as the home page in the theme customizer?

    Yes I checked “static” page and then selected the page “home” in the customizer.

    I just found out something interesting though:
    If I go to the general WordPress settings and change the website-address (url) from https://vanside.de/home to anything else after the “/” it still works (e.g. https://vanside.de/start or / test) and the website gets displayed properly. But if I don’t put anything behind the “/”, the website only shows plain html.

    @padione you don’t have to change your url where wordpress resides but you have to limit yourself to using a static page.
    example constant ABSPATH local path installation folder wordpress /home/user/public_html/ must not be changed to /home/user/public_html/path otherwise for wordpress the url of the site is the setting of the dashboard (overwriting one path to another) Site Address (URL) WP_HOME.

    Changing The Site URL


    Start installaction WordPress https://vanside.de/ (for browser) define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://vanside.de' );
    Without end slash for WordPress.
