cocogreen 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2011 I want to change my permalinks to be relative to the page name rather than date time or page I'd, For example page is called products: Therefore should appear as www.cocogreen.co.uk/products I have tried a few custom rules before but they have either not worked or created all but my home pages to turn to 404 errors. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob 547 Report post Posted August 18, 2011 Bevj is correct, but the recommended setting should include the post ID at the end. Google and other searches seem to find this works best. /%postname%/%post_id% Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
