Wordpress Custom Permalinks Plugin Issue
-
Hello,
I installed this plugin and I'm having trouble making it work. I'm new to WordPress so was hoping someone can help me out.
I'm looking to set up the following pages for example
http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1
http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services2I do the following steps
- Add New Page
- Enter the following title "Services1"
- Enter the following text in the Permalink textbox "Services/Services1" replacing the default text "?page_id=140"
- Then I publish the page.
- This automatically updates the "Custom Fields" section below. The name is set to "custom_permalink" and the value is set to "Services/Services1".
- Then I "view page" but get a 404 error. The url is "http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1"
Some additional info
- 1. WordPress version 9.8.3
- Settings - Permalinks is set to "post name"
- Custom Permalinks version 0.7.18
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Marty,
Worked perfectly

It should work with posts, pages, custom post types, etc without needing that plugin.
Good luck!
-
Thanks again Marty,
I've a couple of questions before I go ahead and implement those changes.
- Will this work for pages and not just blog posts? I'm more concerned about the pages right now.
- Also will I just be able to use the Permalinks section in Settings or will I need to install the Custom Permalinks plugin to be able to produce page urls such as
companyname/services/oracle/admin
companyname/services/oracle/dev
companyname/services/SAP/admin
Thanks again for all your help. I really appreciate it

I don't host my WordPress sites on IIS but according to their site, you have three choices for custom permalinks on IIS-
Microsoft IIS 7+ web server with the URL Rewrite 1.1+ module and PHP 5 running as FastCGI
Microsoft IIS 6+ using ASAPI_Rewrite (free for single-site server, $$ for multi-site server)
Microsoft IIS 6+ using Ionic ISAPI Rewriting Filter (IIRF) (free for single-site or multi-site server)I got the above from this page.

Hi Marty,
Back again. I've been working on this issue again this morning and now have admin access. A few new things have been discovered. This site is running on Azure and IIS so it seems that the .htaccess file is not needed but instead uses the web.config instead. I've tried updating that per this article but it still doesn't work. I think this might be more for blogs though rather than the plugin I've tried.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Marty,
Thanks for your response. I've passed this over to our admin for him to check. I'll post again pending the result from that.

Is your .htaccess file writeable by the server? If not your permalink (and plugin) settings won't work.

19 Hours Excessive to Code Single Wordpress Page?
My developer says that is will take 19 hours to modify a listing page of the wpcasa London real estate theme because the existing template is difficult to customize. I am attaching an image of the existing page before customization and an image of a final mock up. Is 19 hours a reasonable amount of time to customize this page? Look forward to feedback.

Will having two wordpress themes installed hurt seo?
We currently have 3 sites built on WordPress that have little to no blogging capabilities. Currently, all published posts show up on a /category page which does not resemble the traditional blog format and is not aesthetically pleasing. We would like to have a more traditional blog and are considering installing a second wordpress theme on the site which will strictly be used for /blog and all the posts. My question is will having the second WordPress installation on the sites hurt us in any way on the SEO front and if we go this way should we place the install in a subfolder or on a subdomain? Is there anything else we need to worry about with making this transition? Thank you in advance for the advice! Patrick

Question Concerning HTML5/CSS Templates & Google Mobility Issues
Hi all, Looking for some kind of solution for a responsive update for a site and I am wondering if there are any templates (not Wordpress) that are both great SEO wise and would also pass muster with the impending Google update for responsiveness? I was looking at things like Canvas and Porto ( http://themeforest.net/popular_item/by_category?category=site-templates ) but can't find any discussion on whether or not these things have been addressed with any of these templates. If any of you have suggestions or other places to look for something that could possibly fit the bill (even if temporarily) I would be very appreciative. Thank you so much in advance!

Wordpress Blog for Magento Store?
Magento is fantastic for e-commerce although the blog capabilities are limited and our web development fees are just ongoing. I have great experience with wordpress sites and I don't have a bad word to say about the CMS, there are plugins available for everything you possibly need to develop the blog. Would it be a good idea to integrate a wordpress blog for our e-commerce store? To keep both the transactional website and the blog on the same domain, but have a different style for the blog so we're not trying to 'sell' to people looking for home improvement advice and DIY guides, our main priority with the blog is to grow the website authority.

Hey, So I know wordpress is built with a user capability, but what about databasing custom user data?
Hi everyone, so I am working on a project with a friend of mine, without getting into too much detail, here's the problem. We need users to sign in, then for instance, click a button, and then have that action record a value of 1 in a database on our server (preferably accessible through the wordpress admin interface, and in .csv format so that we can make it easy to work with) Any help with databasing, or if wordpress is already built with SOME database technology, etc, etc For instance, SEOmoz's "mozpoint" system.. Wordpress comes built with the ability for users to log in and have profiles with special access, etc, but does it have the ability to log points and values to a specific user as well? Where should I look? What should I google to figure out options? Who could I call / hire?
