Wordpress – how to use permalinks
Introduction: this little guide will help you to use “WordPress – permalink” without having to use the default link for your search engines! Nevertheless, this article will also show you how to make your own permalink! But, it will only work if you have “mod_rewrite” enabled…
1.] Create a “.htaccess” file and upload it to your blog’s directories.
After that, you’ll need to change your “.htaccess” file’s permission.
Notes: some hosting provider will only provide files with ’644′ permission and folders (directories) with ’755′. So, please make sure that you provide your “.htaccess” files with the correct permission. But, failing to follow this rules, it could trigger fatal errors and major syntax errors for your “WordPress” ~blog.
2.] Login to your “WordPress” control panel and click on these directories.
The permalinks settings can be found at your sidebar – panel.
Dashboard >> Settings >> Permalinks
3.] Select your own permalinks and make your blogs’ a little more attractive and individual.
Here are some example of “Costume Structure” which you might like to use. However, your “.htaccess” files should be readable and re-writable by the server.
—————————————-
/%post_id%/%postname%/ - This structure represent your "Post IDs and Post Title"... /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ - This structure is recommended by most "search engines". However, it can be a little long and complicated... /%category%/%postname%/ - This structure is very popular and "SEO" friendly. It can also make your blogs' very organized and friendly...
—————————————-
Notes: there are also other combination that you can experiment.
However, you’ll need to be very careful!
4.] Save your settings and visit your main – page.
But, if you don’t like it, you can always change it!!
5.] Finish!
