• I am new here so please bear with me. I am adding new pages to WP in Catalyst, I have seen other sites where each page has an added like mini url after the main. In other words my website is ftworthenergy.com I have a number of sales people and I would like to make each of their pages a little different so I need to do this ftworthenergy.com/charles/customer and then ftworthenergy.com/charles/consultant I know this is going to be simple but I have been searching through the cheat sheat for a few days and I just can’t find it. Thanks folks for helping an old man who is trying to lean something new.

  • You can set this up by editing your permalinks. Create a category for each author, and make sure their posts get added to that category.

    Hey Kjodle, thanks for the reply. The pages are not posts but static pages, does that make a difference? What I done was click the circle on post name and /%postname%/ came up on the line just below that. Will that work? I don’t understand the category, author and so on. I probably should not even be asking for help in here because I really am a beginner but at 68 years old I am excited about doing new things and this web site creation has given me something to do.
    Thanks Again

    Is there a specific reason you are using pages instead of posts? This is easier with posts.

    If you must use pages, there are plugins that will allow you to use categories with posts.

    What I done was click the circle on post name and /%postname%/ came up on the line just below that. Will that work?

    Yes that will work. This will allow you to create pretty urls and you can now create a page called charles and then the appropriate subpages.

    When thinking about pages vs posts, just keep in mind that pages are for static content, so about, services, contact, etc… pages that will change, but possibly only seldomnly.

    Posts on the other hand are for content that gets added a lot, like news, press releases and a blog obviously.

    So if you’re interested in creating pages to discuss your various sales people, that’s fine, pages are good.

    Thank you Christine, yes I am using pages because this is not a blog but are sales landing pages and the content will almost never change.

    And thank you Kjodle, you led me to the right place. I had to do a lot of research after I got there to figure it all out but I prefer that anyway. If one is just given a fish, etc, etc..
