Permalink problem with all my exsting blogs

  • i see that i originally set up my permalink structure as
    %postname%

    and have published quite a few blog posts
    I realise that I should have set it to /%category%/%postname%/
    but when I do this now it doesnt show my existing posts….
    and existing links on the web will not link to correct pages
    ..do I manually have to reconfigure all of them
    or is there an easier way?

    thanx

  • Hi,
    I don’t know exact code.
    But i think that , this kind of permalink will not work.
    because permalink is related with page also. And a page hasn’t any category.

    @kiddie: Custom permalink structures only affect Posts. Pages use /%pagename%/ automatically whenever a structure other that the default one is chosen. See Using_Permalinks.

    @hayfj: Is your .htaccess file being updated?

    re .htaccess – i have no idea, how can i check?

    i want to change my permalink structure to

    /%category%/%postname%/ so all blog posts have category in url

    but the existing ones are setup in /%postname%/

    WordPress will tell you when you update the permalink structure.
