Permalink Settings

  • WordPress 5.8.2

    Sat a few days with an installation locally with MAMP. Time and time again the menu stopped responding and every time I created a new page or post I got a red JSON response. I logged with paper and pen everything I did and came to the conclusion that it happened when I changed the setting for “Perma Links”. Only the “Plain” setting works. Why?

  • Do you have mod_rewrite enabled in your server?

    Yes it is enabled.

    What about the WordPress rewrite rules?

    Log in to WordPress as the administrator.
    Under Dashboard, click Settings, and then click Permalinks. The Permalink Settings page appears.
    Under Common Settings, select the permalink structure that you want to use for your pages and posts. WordPress automatically fills in the Custom Structure text box based on the permalink structure that you select:
    Day and name: This permalink structure formats URLs using the date, month, year, and name of the post.
    Month and name: This permalink structure formats URLs using the month, year, and name of the post.
    Numeric: As with the WordPress default permalink, this permalink structure formats URLs using the post ID. However, it also removes the ?p= parameter and substitutes archives instead.
    Post name: This permalink structure formats URLs using the title of the post or page. No date information is included in the URL.
    Custom Structure: You can create your own permalink structure by manually specifying a value in this text box.

    Under Optional, you can customize the permalink structure further. By default, WordPress uses category and tag in the URL to display category and tag archives. (For example, to display pages tagged with cats, the URL would be https://www.example.com/tag/cats.

In the Category base text box, type the new value to use in URLs that display articles from a particular category.
In the Tag base text box, type the new value to use in URLs that display tagged articles.
Click Save Changes. WordPress updates the URLs for your posts and pages immediately.
