you cant do that. you need to use mod_rewrite to rewrite the permalinks — NOT add ?q= to anything
oh, and this inst urgent, btw. your house on fire is urgent. a fricken web page is not so urgent.
Thank you for your suggestion. do you mean I can’t add question mark even I use mod_rewrite manually?
stating as urgent means it is urgent for me, I have to fix this on 10 website within the next 3 hours.
thank you.
no I said that you dont want to make wordpress use the ?
you can turn this:
domain.com/content/article-name
into this
domain.com/?q=content/article-name
rather easily using mod_rewrite.
Keep in mind that youre actually doing the opposite of what most people desire.
Were it me, I would use the permalink structure /content/$postname (or whatever that last option is).
so you end up with http://www.blah.com/content/postname
then you just need to add the ? during mod_rewrite.
Keep in mind also, that any of those custom mod_rewrite rules will need to be BEFORE the regular wordpress stuff in any .htaccess
thanks for your help.
But neither this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
nor this works
RewriteRule index.php?q=$1 ^(.*)$ [L,QSA]
What do u suggest now ?
thanks
@whooami
Well, I am in the same problem too.
Where to add (?) during mod_rewrite.
Can u please tell the complete syntax. Thanks a bunch in Advance.
And also kindly advice what custom permalink structure to use for
domain.com/?q=content/post-name
Thanks again.
you both are trying to do the exact same thing???? given what the OP wants to do, thats really unusual.
@whooami,
thanks for your help, we both are working on the same project.
we tried what you suggested but it didn’t work.
if you can provide more information about it, I will appreciate.
thanks again.
what are your current wordpress permalinks — give me an example url
what do you want to change that to — give me an example.
and since this is working as (I think) your described wanting early this morning..

isnt that what you wanted?? its hella ugly.
your MUCH better off turning your ugly joomla links into pretty wordpress links.
the only difference is the question mark before q=content
well, that is the requirement becoz its indexed in google already.
if that is doable, I will appreciate your help.
thanks
ok, but google can reindex content. which do you want to do? the other is MUCH simpler.
