Permalink Query

    Currently, all my existing posts and new posts have/will have the complicated webpage addresses with numbers and question marks.

    I realise that if a post about eg. football had the address http://www.mydomain.com/football rather than http://www.mydomain.com/?343493 it would benefit the site and users.

    I was wondering, if I change the permalink options, would all my existing pages change to the new format of address, or would only new posts be named in the newly specified manner?

    Thanks,

    Tony.

    As far as I’m aware all pages/posts will be rewritten to the more search engine friendly version.

    Thanks guys. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the structure tag so that all the post addresses are named after the post title, and what I actually have to do to the htaccess file to make the changes function correctly.

    thanks again.

    Log in as admin, look at Options -> Permalinks. Some examples are already there and there’s a hyperlink to more information.

    If your .htaccess is writeable by your web server process, it will add the entries automatically. If it isn’t, it will display (at the bottom of the page) the entries YOU need to manually add.

    Thanks a lot for your help. It’s all sorted at http://www.rapnews.co.uk apart from one quite big problem.

    When you click for example, the ‘Alex Blood’ link on my main page, all the links in the sidebar are altered to be within the alexblood/ address, but they aren’t there and an error message appears…and ideas guys?

    That’s in reference to combining the category/post name tag as opposed to the post name tag, which works correctly
