Permalink Structure Problem

  • Hi – searched around but haven’t come up with anything on this yet.

    I’d like to use the pretty permalink structure of
    /%category%/%postname%

    The problem is, once I switch, the browser thinks it’s in these faux directories. I have edited individual pages and included img tags and the like soooo…

    Since WordPress is operating out of a faux directory, it can’t access my /images folder. I can include the full URL path in my tags to fix this, but I have a couple hundred swf’s that reference a file in the root, and can’t get to the root.

    Is there any way to use pretty permalink structure and still fool the browser into thinking it’s still in the root directory? or did I miss something?

    thanks

  • I would avoid using a permalink structure like that.

    take a look at this article to get an overview of the best permalink practices: https://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2009/02/04/efficient-wordpress-permalinks

    thanks for the reply – i do appreciate it – but it’s not relevant

    For example, if I followed the advice of your link, I could use a structure like /%post_id%/%postname%/ – then my browser would fail to load my /images folder because it thinks it is operating from an imaginary /%post_id%/ directory and not the root

    your permalink structure really shouldn’t have anything to do with images being served.

    do you have the “organized based on the date” selected?

    do you have the correct permissions set to the media directories?
