Wordpress Plugins, Shortstats, and Custom Permalink
Wheew..
I’m no IT geek so i dont really know much about putting up blogs, moreso, managing its backend. So, I really pity my super nice kuya crush cause I think I gave him a hard time awhile ago when he was teaching me a supposedly “basic” wordpress set-up.
See, I had errors in my blog cause I tried to do some custom permalink myself, based on what my other friend, Karlabebe, taught me. Well, that was about a year ago, so Ive already forgotten the last parts of her lesson (the save as and upload part), which happen to be the most important cause if you leave your permalink setup halfway, you’d end up with broken links.
Anyway, I had a step-by-step tutorial care of kuya crush,and yeah, i successfully changed the urls. so happy, yey! Just so I would remember, here’s the step-by-step procedure on creating custom permalink for my blogs:
- Access the WP dashboard, then click settings, then Permalinks.
- In Common Settings, choose “Custom Structure”.
- Type this: /%category%/%postname%/
- Save. A code will then appear at the bottom, about the “.htaccess file”.
- Copy the code, then paste it in your Notepad. (Bff Etten said she has no Notepad cause she’s using Mac.. I dont know the alternative, huhu!)
- Save as .htaccess … Not .txt! (Remember to choose “All files” in “save as type”.)
- Open your domain cpanel. Access your public_html.
- Upload the .htaccess file.
And that’s it! Check your site if it works! It worked for me!
Now, Shortstats is another story. Nyahaha.
PS: I also just learned the “next page, previous page” codes. lol.
