 * I was wondering if there is any way to change the permalinks for my wordpress
   pages (only, not my posts). So I have a page called photos, so I wanted the permalink
   to be [http://myaddress.org/photos](http://myaddress.org/photos). I dont really
   care what the address of any posts after that is. Is there a way to do this? 
   I had a poke about on these forums but couldnt really come up with any answers.
   I would be really grateful if anyone could help me! Sorry if the question has
   been answered before and I didnt have the wherewithal to find it! Thanks again!

 * No, you cannot change the permalinks “selectively”. All or nothing. Which means,
   if you want “nice” permalinks for your Pages – it has to be done for the whole
   blog.
    Study your own admin panel > Options > Permalinks + [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)

 * Thanks for replying, but both that link and the admin panel seem to give no real
   help for the kind of permalink structure I am trying to achieve, although I know
   it is possible as I have seem someone else’s blog using it, and he is on the 
   same host/wp scheme as me….oh well…thanks anyway!

 * You could probably do this sort of thing in the .htaccess file (assuming a linux/
   unix server of course). I haven’t any facility with that, but perhaps searching
   with google would find a usenet where you could get this sort of info.

 * Good luck with it, and if you figure it out please post back the solution; bound
   to be others wanting it eventually you know!

 * I am working on a site where I have mostly pages… for example, about-us, products,
   etc
 * I am using permalinks in this format:
 * /%category%/
 * just for one bit that will use a category and have blog posts.
 * I am linking to my pages like this:
 * /about-us/
 * or, you could use the absolute path, I suppose
 * [http://example.com/about-us/](http://example.com/about-us/)
 * 1) did you try using the ending /?
    2) is the page slug “photos”? Keep in mind
   that when you create a Page, the title you use is sanitized for spaces, etc and
   a page slug is created. Create a new page and add photos in the title field, 
   add content and save/publish. Now that page slug is photos. You should be able
   to link to it like href=”/photos/”
 * works for me, anyway. v2.0.4

 * Thanks for that! I changed the permalinks structure to custom: /%category%/ and
   now it is just like how I want them! Cheers!

 * Well, I thought this worked ok, but when I tried to go into a single post on 
   the main page, it just went to a list of all the posts for that category. Seems
   to be no way to go into only one post now…hmmm. If anyone has any ideas of how
   to fix this, I would be really grateful. Thanks!
 * EDIT: Take it all back! I was an idiot…I added /%postname%/ to the end and it
   works fine! Thanks anyhoo.
