Footer content question

those are set up with the assumption that you’re using pretty permalinks, and you are not. Do you intend to use them in the future? Right now, youre using ugly ones.

If I change my permalinks from ugly to pretty, will those created before the change be affected? The reason I’m asking is because other sites link to my posts and pages and I don’t want those links to be broken.

ugly permalinks always work, and are unaffected by switching to pretty.

You can fix those links without switching to pretty permalinks, I just thought it would be worth asking first since if you were going to do the other it would be a moot point.

How can I fix my ugly links without switching to pretty permalinks?

nonono, youre not understanding ??

the links in your footer — the theme author coded those with the assumption you would be using pretty permalinks.

Ive asked you about that first because IF you are intending to switch to pretty permalinks, then you will just end up changing those back, after having changed them here.

Your ugly permalinks.. have nothing to do with the footer. The footer is “pretty”.

Fixing the rest of them means switching to pretty permalinks which would in turn, fix your footer.

Back to footer:

I have not looked at your current theme’s files, however the following two lines ought to take care of the feed links regardless of what permalinks you are using (pretty OR ugly):

<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (RSS)</a>

Edit your theme’s footer.php or whatever file is responsible for that output.

Thanks. That worked.

your welcome ?? Good luck sorting out your permalinks ??
