WordPress Pretty Permalinks

One thing I love about WordPress, if you have time to dig around you just might learn something new and have fun with it.

Thanks to Silvy I have my mod_rewrite fixed and have my Pretty Permalinks working.

Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to refer to your article (or section), or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. Especially when they are used to link to individual postings, once a story is posted, the URL to it should be permanent, and never change — hence permalink. ~ WordPress.org

Making your Pretty Permalinks work on WordPress

I faces few problem during my configuration process;

  • WordPress did not create file .htaccess
    To fix this problem, I log on to to my shell and do Touch .htaccess and chmod 666 .htaccess. Log on to Options > Permalinks select your common or custom structure than hit Update Premalink Structure.
  • Error page 404
    To fix this problem I have to install mod_rewrite module on Apache web server and support FollowSymlinks. AllowOverride ALL was enable and manual config direcroty was point to my blog root. Log on to Options > Permalinks select your common or custom structure than hit Update Premalink Structure. Woohoo! Now it work like a champ!
