Permalink with String

  • hey,
    is it possible to insert just a string into “structure” or does it have to be comprised of all variables?

    I would like my posts to read:
    /portfolio/%category%/%post_id%/

    But having the string “portfolio” there creates 404 page not found errors. When I remove that, the page works fine.

    I’ve also noticed that for the Cat base I CAN put in a string and it will work fine:
    /portfolio

    Why can I in one place and not the other?

    Also, I just noticed that it might have something to do with the fact that I have a page with the slug “portfolio”. Is it getting confused?

    I’d like there to be a portfolio page that reads:
    “www.mysite.com/portfolio/”

    and then to have posts look like they’re in that section:
    “www.mysite.com/portfolio/êtegory%/%post_id%/”

    Yes, it gets confused.

    You can ‘fake’ structure, provided there aren’t too many pages involved using some URL rewrites. This is not recommended however. Honour the CMS (WordPress) conventions and accept the limitations.
