 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to build my very first webshop using WP and WooCommerce. I’ve gotten
   some work done, but I feel like as soon as I manage to get one problem sorted
   two new ones arise.
 * The current problem I have is with the permalinks. Currently they look like this:
 * [http://localhost/name/?post_type=product](http://localhost/name/?post_type=product)
 * I’d like them to be like:
 * [http://localhost/name/shop/category/product](http://localhost/name/shop/category/product)
 * How do I get them to look this neat?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hiya…
 * Yeah, permalinks are important. Especially for SEO.
 * Use this codex for instructions on how to set them up like you are wanting:

 * Thanks Tycho, but that didn’t make me much wiser I’m afraid.
 * I tried the plugin called ‘Custom permalinks’ wich seemed to fit my needs perfectly.
   Unfortunatley when using that I get 404 not found.

 * I should also mention that when I actually change the permalinks to look good
   all I get is 404 not found…
