Remove repeated sitename from permalinks?

  • Are you hosted in a Linux (Apache Server) account or Windows Server? If the latter you need a web.config file and host needs to activate proper server setup for rewrites.

    If it is not a Windows Server setup, deactivate all plugins, switch to default theme (temporarily) to test if one is affecting this.

    Many thanks for your help.

    It is hosted in what is called a hybrid account with Linux bias, and under its Windows configuration options the ‘rewrite module’ is enabled, which is supposed to allow me to ‘utilise Apache mod_rewrite style functionality in a .htaccess file on a Windows or hybrid mode website’.

    I didn’t know about web.config files but I read the link you referenced and added one to the root directory (where wordpress is installed) including rewrite rules as described.

    Unfortunately it hasn’t made any difference.

    (I’ve also deactivated all plugins and switched to the twenty eleven theme.)

    Thank you again for your help. I’m going to raise the question with my host and will come back here if I solve my problem or discover any further useful information.

    Any further suggestions greatly appreciated. My hosts state that this is a WordPress issue.

    In case this helps anybody else:

    The reason my links were coming out that way was because I’d arranged all my pages to have ‘Home’ as their parent.

    When I changed all the pages to have ‘no parent’ the links appeared as I wanted –
