my webmaster is working on it…problem is, he uses ISS or something, MS’s webserver software. Not Apache. So ok…any hints on how to do this?
but yeah, that format DOES work, thanks 🙂
If you are not in the Apache server you might want to try changing your permalink structure. You can follow the sample structure in your Options->Permalinks page in your WP Admin panel.
what permalink format goes directly to http://www.brenthellickson.com/wordpress/index.php?m=200502 ??? because I tried some of the examples and got 404 errors…
I tried putting it at /index.php?%year%%monthnum%, but it places the “/” in the actual links… hmm
No, no, no. Hang on a sec. You just have to enter the permalink values in Options/Permalinks as instructed. They’ll do the rest for you.
If you enter your permalinks as /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/, then /2005/02/ will redirect to index.php?m=200502
If you enter your permalinks as /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/, then /archives/2005/02/ will redirect to index.php?m=200502
If you enter your permalinks as /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/, then /index.php/2005/02/ will redirect to index.php?m=200502
It’s all relative to how you set your permalinks … but you have to actually set your permalinks first before you can run off trying links. See this for more info: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
that seems great and all in theory, but it isn’t working on my site, dude. it probably has to do with the fact we’re running ISS, not Apache. My link aren’t redirecting. Thats the problem.
Use this permalink structure:
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
tried that…it gives me 404 errors.
ok this did it…
/index.php?m=%year%%monthnum%/
