My WP website is currently set to use the following permalink structure:
http://websitename.com/%postname%/
If I change that it to:
http://websitename.com/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
everything works correctly. Specifically, older blog posts posted elsewhere (e.g. my FB page) redirect to the new URL automatically.
However, if I use a custom permalink structure and set it to the following:
http://websitename.com/blog/%postname%/
the redirect does not work on older posts. That is, I can still access all of the posts from the site, but if I linked to one of my blog posts on my Facebook page, for example, the old URL produces a 404 and does not redirect. I am thinking it has something to do with "blog" not being one of the variables that WordPress recognizes.
Any thoughts on why this is happening, and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
You can use wordpress quick redirect plugin for redirection

It is simple to use

I added a page in wordpress. Wordpress created a url like
https://mywebsite.com/page-title
but I want to change this url like https://mywebsite.com/se/page-title
My Permalink Settings shows https://mywebsite.com/sample-post/
and website is already indexed on google so I can't change my paramlink setting.
I also tried with htaccess and also from wordpress add_rewrite_rule() but no result is coming.
Any help how can I do this?
The simplest way to make your page url like www.example.com/se/se1 instead of www.example.com/se1 is to create page se and se1 make as child page of se.
With this option you'll saved your wordpress website permalink structure, you'll in not need to change your other pages redirects for google indexing
I have looked all over the place and can't figure out how to get this to work.
I want my urls for blog posts to look like this: "www.website.com/my-page/category-name/blog-post-title"
The issue I am having is that I have a page called "my-page".
So I have a page "www.website.com/my-page/" which is just a standard wordpress page, but I want the url for the blog post to look like it is under that page.
Here is what I have for the permalink so far:
/my-page/%category%/%postname%/
But this doesn't work and gets a 404 error when opening a blog post.
At this point I don't believe it can be fixed through the wordpress gui, so if anyone has any recommendations, it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit: I wanted to add that the permalink works fine if I remove "/my-page" or if I simply modify it so it does not match the page.
First of all you should not use the category in front of your permalinks as it leads to bad performance (and some posts may have multiple categories): http://ottopress.com/2010/category-in-permalinks-considered-harmful/
The second thing is - it should work. I tried with a fresh installation on WordPress and I get the correct results.
Did you flush rewrite rules / save the new permalink structure?
Did you publish a post?
Is your server correctly configured to use permalinks?
Third possibility - if your permalink structure does not work for some reason you can define a custom permalink structure:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API
I had a previous coder move my site from a custom cms to a custom wordpress theme.
Posts are shown correctly when there is no post-id in the permalink. However, I would like to include the postid on the site posts. My permalinks now look like www.website.com/post-title/ although I would like them to be www.website.com/123/post-title/. I believe all my issues are coming down to one function.

The code on that page does various things based on vars found in the url. I am not 100% sure if this is the only problem, but it is the only one I can find. I have a custom post type created on my site that seems to work fine. The permalinks seem to fully work. When visiting a post page with the postid in the url (changing it via the permalink settings) I get a 404 page. I also get a 404 page when I try and view the author page. I have no clue where to even begin to figure out what the problem is with the author page.
Site: http://www.frontdesktip.com/blog/
I have a WordPress blog. All the post are currently in this convention:
http://www.myblog.com/blog/?p=1442
Now I'd like to change the URL of all posts like this one:
http://www.gomidjets.com/blog/this-is-my-post
While it's quite easy to apply it by changing the blog settings, the big problem is about the links I've placed
in many external website. I can't change them, and I'd like to map the old links to the new links somehow.
Do you know how to do it - if that's possible at all?
Do you have a better solution?
Thank you very much
Wordpress will map all old URL to new one, in case if you provided all URL in their original shape, such as http://example.com/?page_id=80
The answer is: you don't need to do anything.
I believe what you're looking for can be found in the admin panel.
In the admin panel (http://www.your-wordpress-site.com/wp-admin), go to Settings > Permalinks
Login to the admin panel first,
go for the settings->Permalink Settings
Select the format you want.
If you want change the base url for only some posts then you can edit from database.
Try this Redirection wordpress plugin to redirect your old url to your new url.
The URL's should resolve fine because the original URL you're using is the permalink one to my knowledge. If you're wanting end users to be redirected to this url, that's a bit harder.
That aside, I couldn't find any plugins that already did this. What you want to do is check the current URL against the wordpress function get_permalink() and if it doesn't match, redirect to the current permalink URL.
I am working on making urls like example.com/profile/username to work where example.com runs Wordpress(latest release). The install is on root. I wrote a plugin hook to catch template_redirect and I examine the URL to see if it is a profile request and then I show the profile.
But, when a URL that does not exist is typed, Wordpress does an auto search for related posts before triggering a 404 or template redirect.
For example, example.com/profile/foobar goes to another page which has foobar in its title like example.com/2009/10/1/foobar
How do I stop this from happening?
I haven't upgraded my wordpress blog in probably 2 years (posts or software), but my first thought was a .htaccess file. I looked at the main one and found:
But that doesn't explain search results right off. So I found this file
/wp-includes/rewrite.php
which has a few dealings with permalinks and search results. The main one I spotted was:
// Search
$search_structure = $this->get_search_permastruct();
$search_rewrite = $this->generate_rewrite_rules($search_structure, EP_SEARCH);
$search_rewrite = apply_filters('search_rewrite_rules', $search_rewrite);
Basically, if all searches are turned into permalinks and all permalinks are rewritten to a script that creates a generic page, you get the /foobar page...
I'll keep you posted on what I find.
