Cruft free URLs

  • The other thing I am looking for is a way to have clean URLs. It would be great if my post were:
    Job Hunting
    That I could have my url be:
    https://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/category/jobhunting/
    Is there a plugin for this? Also, can I remove the “wordpress” directory out of my hierarchy? Did I possibly install it one directory too high? I assume if I essentially install WP at the same level as htdocs then I won’t get that?

  • I am actually trying to figure this out as well for a while. I get server errors when I attempt to use URIs with subdirectories (cruft free ones).
    Do I need to change anything on the server to make this happen? May you can refer us to a place where it is explained how it works or how to get it running. Thanks a lot!

    I get errors rewriting too.
    is there a tutorial somewhere about how to apply this at wp and .htacess level?

    wp-admin/options-permalink.php
    go to this page of ur blog. all the details are here.

    To be clear, your host must support mod_rewrite for the clean URIs to work. Contact them if you’re not sure if it does. Most linux hosts support it nowadays so if they don’t (and won’t install it) I’m sure you could find plenty who do.

    just got to Options then Permalinks.. and play around with those settings.
    i have got the to work but i have one small problem…
    my urls are constructed like this:
    https://www.mydomain.com/INDEX.PHP/date/article-name/
    if you can see what i mean /index.php/

    their are 2 ways to get the funky URIs. The way you used is the one which works on Servers that apparently does not support mod_rewrite. ??

    Ok, now one more issue.
    I’d like my category to be part of the URL. Right now I have something like:
    https://dev.com/wordpress/fun/
    where I want
    https://dev.com/wordpress/CATEGORY-NAME/fun/
    Possible? Doesn’t appear to be a tag for category…

    1.3 will add support for %category% and %author% tags.

    Mysql thinks sequentially. The posts are numbered from 1 to n. It does not really know what category is what until it accesses the second field in the filter.
