Customizing Your Wordpress Permalinks
1. From the Wordpress dashboard, hover over the ‘Settings’ tab and click the arrow that appears on the right hand side of the tab to expand the menu down.
Expand the settings tab.
2. Click on the ‘Permalinks’ menu option.
Choose the permalinks section.
3. Choose your permalink settings.
Set your permalink structure.
Available structure tags:
- %year%
- %monthnum%
- %day%
- %hour%
- %minute%
- %second%
- %postname%
- %post_id%
- %category%
- %tag%
- %author%
So to give you an example, lets imagine you published a post in 2009, named ‘My New Post’ which had the ID of ‘321′ and the author was ‘greg’ and it was posted in the category ‘News’.
This structure: %year%/%author%/%post_id% would display like this: 2009/greg/321
And this structure: %year%/%category%/%postname% would display like this: 2009/news/my-new-post
Note: The slashes (‘/’) that I added are optional. I use them because it makes the URL easier to read and remember. If you left them out of our second example it would look like this: 2009newsmy-new-post
