How To Get Pretty Permalinks

  • Tried to custom structure my blog but it wouldn’t work. Had to return to default.

    Even had help with the following response:

    “Very sad, because with pretty permalinks, your post will be easier found in search engines, imagine, who will type: “p=23” in google search, almost none, keep on writing, they are really really great articles!

    If you still want to use pretty permalinks, you may want to ask www.remarpro.com forums.”

    Oh…my blog URL is https://www.writers-inkwell.com

    Sounds like WordPress was having trouble writing the redirect rules of your pretty permalinks to .htaccess

    You could always try and manually add the redirect rules.

    open .htaccess in your WordPress installation root and add the following:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    then change the permalink structure in the wp-admin panel to:
    /%category%/%postname%/

    And see if that works. If .htaccess does not exist in your root then simply create a txt file htaccess.txt upload via ftp to the root and rename to .htacess
