 * For my experience, Google and Yahoo prefeers files and not directories.
 * And the other reason is because a have actually a website with more than 100 
   files ending with .php and they are linked from a lot of websites in the internet.
 * Now, I am configuring WP and I want the files still having the SAME name than
   before, and not change the file name because Google will consider duplicate content
   at my website, or if I create the new “pages” at WP, they end with a slash and
   if I remove the dot php files so they will do a 404 for all the incoming backlinks…
 * so…
 * 🙁 I still wanting to put my categories name dot php in WordPress….

 * “Make a category for those posts”
    OK!
 * “and exclude your index.php from displaying that category.”
 * How can I do that thing?

 * Because Google and Yahoo prefeers files (php) and not directories (/) for a better
   web positioning.
 * So I want the categories to be dot php too…..
 * And I dont know how to do that 🙁

 * I was looking at functions-formatting.php file, I change the line
 * preg_replace(‘/&.+?;/’, ”, $title); // k
 * by
 * preg_replace(‘/&+?;/’, ”, $title); // k
 * but if I put a dot in the page slug, still desappearing.
 * What I am doing wrong?
