• Hi there – love the plugin and have been using it for a few years now. One thing I’ve noticed is that when the plugin imports the posts the urls that it’s sending folks to are not the normal urls, they show up as: /exchange/?p=2769 rather than what should be /exchange/question/what-are-the-steps-involved-with-building-a-single-storey-house/

    Wondering if this is normal or if I need to tweak something?

    The plugin is in use on the homepage here:

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @builderkp ;

    Can you see if pretty links is enabled on the site that is displaying the posts? I’m think it is but to just be safe.

    Also see if there’s another plugin active that messes with the pretty link structure. May be in conflict with mine.

    Plus can you paste the shortcode here?

    It won’t hurt anything but for some reason it’s defaulting to the old way.

    Please include the php version of your host and the what version of the plugin are you running?

    Thanks John

    @johnzenausa thanks for the quick reply!

    I reset the permalinks on each of the main site and subsites to see if that was it, they’ve been set to pretty links now. Unfortunately I don’t believe it was.

    Plugins

    I have rankmath installed but have since disabled it to see if that was the problem. It didn’t make a difference.

    Shortcode

    [netsposts include_blog=’14,22,23, 30′ order_post_by=’date_order desc’ thumbnail=’true’ list=’32’ post_type=’product,post,gd_place,gd_company,glossary, question’ include_link_title=’true’ excerpt_letters_length=’120′ size=’medium_large’ hide_excerpt=’false’ show_author=’true’ paginate=’false’ exclude_read_more_link=’true’ meta_info=’true’ hide_source=’false’ auto_excerpt=’true’ filter_excerpt=’true’ show_category_icon=’true’ paginate=’true’ date_format=’M j, Y’]

    Version

    Currently using version 7.6.8 of the plugin. PHP version 8.0 on Kinsta hosting.

    @builderkp Okay I talked to Andrey (my co-designer) and he said the links will look like this if they link to a custom post type on a subsite that doesn’t exist on the main site. Here are his words.

    The problem is that permalink structure of custom post type used on the source blog is not registered on the target blog. The simplest solution is to import custom post type into the target blog. That way WordPress will know how to format links of that post type.

    Since there’s no pretty link to create a pretty url from it settles for the WordPress default. They will always work though.
