Permalink – Custom Structure

What custom string do you want to use?

For example

https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/books in stead of https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/?page_id=536

when i do this the page https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/?p=254#respond

comes https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/spanish-aid.co.uk/?p=254#respond and then is when i get the 404 error.

thanks for your reply

Hi,

Add this code in htaccess and have a check:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks,

First, turn on the regular permalinks and get that to work before trying to use a custom string.

Sorry guys but it did not work. I did what Shane G suggested. and I am having the same problem with my post. The rest of the pages work perfectly but for some reason, when I click on one of my post the url duplicate itself https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/example#respond and I get the 404 error. I am going to leave it as it is so you can have a better look before I reset the permalinks to the default settings

Thanks again for your help

See, every single post permalink you have is wrong and set to this:
https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/example

What in the heck is in your custom permalink string? Because you obviously have set it incorrectly or something.

Thanks, this has been ressolved however I still geting the duplicate url https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk/http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/2009/06/14/b-for-bravo-or-v-for-victo/ but as long as my readers can see my post that should be ok.

Thanks for your help.

Check your Settings->General page. Do you perhaps have something there with only one slash instead of two?

Does your custom permalinks string contain that whole http thing? It shouldn’t.

Hi Otto

I have checked my General setting and everything looks ok to me.

this is what I have

WordPress address (URL) https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk
Blog address (URL) https://www.spanish-aid.co.uk

My custom permalinks are like this.

Custom Structure /http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Do you thing I have to amend somthing?

Thanks again for your help

Otto man

I just got it, I know what it was, I was putting the whole url again on my Custom Structure. I have deleted /http:/www.spanish-aid.co.uk and know is perfect. Sorry about this I thought I had to put the whole url when setting custom permalinks

Thanks

There’s your problem.

Change your custom structure to this:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Just that. Not all the stuff in front of it.
