Hi Matt,
After my site crashed and wiped out everything, I am rebuilding it, dropped the www and have /%postname%/ done.
However, I use a jump.php script and all the links are getting 404’s.
I try the a href=”jump.php?xxxx” /a and get a 404. I then tried a href=”postname/jump.php?xxxx” /a and still get 404.
How do I work around this or fix this?
Do I go back to default and hope that works?
Thanks Matt.
John

Hi David,
well, you can always test it out and see what happens…
although I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just install the plugin..?
cheers,
Matt

If you are using category%/%postname% right now, changing it to just %postname% would I really need that Deans Plugin in because the %category%/%postname% still exists doesnt it?

Hi Steven,
have you made sure the htaccess file has the following code in: -

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Hey Matt this is the very problem i have been trying to resolve and breaking my head over because after 2 months of blogging i noticed that it was set at default and now to arrange it to how it should be has causesed much problems. I have tried using the Deans perma plugin but of no avail so i am stuck and forced to go with the default. I wish i would had known sooner, it feels like i have waisted away all my efforts, “another learning process”, but i,m still searching for a way to resolve this. Thank for the heads up anyway.

Hey Matt i am really amazed of the fact,how you give value information for nothing in return. I am truely greatfull and thank you for real. You remind me of one of the greatest ball player that ever played the game ( Baseball hall of Famer Lou Gehrig ) The Iron Hourse. Professional, humble and kept a low key but was truelly an Awsome, and explosive productive player, never made himself to be the center of attraction, like some that claim to be Gurus. And yet the world knew who Lou Gehrig was, the Greatest. Thanks Garrett .

Heybro,

wasgonna Skype you about this but figured the best thing to do was

A- See how you’re actually doing it on your permalinks
B- See how other highranked blogs are doing it.

I’m using category/postname as the permalink structure, and yes, that makes the links longer, but its added keywords, too.

If category of a post was in reviews section/category and you wrote a review on something, then SEs highlight the word REVIEW in category plus in title of post.

Also, there’s a plugin called redirect old slugs, which could make it seamless for people if they swiotch their permalink strucuture and don’t want visitors to get a bunch of 404s..
Then again,your blogs rank higher than mine do, so what do I know,

Hi Alex,
I prefer to just use %postname% to keep the url length short, but using %category% to get the “theme”/niche keywords in as well does work, especially if you’re using the 10daycashsecets plugin.
cheers,
Matt
