Descriptive WordPress URLs
In WordPress, when you first set it up, your urls when you post look something like this: www.chrisrat.com/blog/?p=123. Not entirely the most descriptive! I have to thank my friends over at BrainPOP UK for the tip here to turn that into a descriptive URL.
This is a short post, as it is super easy to sort. In your WordPress control panel, go to ‘Settings’ then to ‘Permalinks’ and you will see something like this:
If you have never been here before, then the ‘Default’ radio button will be selected. Simply select ‘Custom Structure’ and copy what I have put in above, and it will make it a lot more usable!
simple, but effective. Thanks very much
Cheers Ian!
Does this break any links people might have made to your site? Or do the previously set ones function as well?
Thank you!
No probs!
Sorry, just seen this. I don’t think it breaks any links. They should still work.
