Setting Permalinks

u r use right permalink

I’m going to take the liberty to piggyback my question to this, if you don’t mind. It is of a similar nature.

Say I have a page at https://domain.com/?page_id=262 as standard.

Now, I don’t want to change any other permalinks, I just want to have a link like https://domain.com/?p=name

I’ve seen a few plugins etc, but nothing that I can find is up to date or suits that need.

Cheers.

@brianrho: In theory, you can use any of the allowable permalink structures but I’d suggest using one of the date based presets in Settings -> Permalinks.

I am working in Genesis. At present the Post Name as below is selected.The site is a full blown “static” website on safaris.

Should that be ok and as I asked earlier will it mess everything up if I change it now. The website is up and running – all 95 pages of it?

Default https://www.africanodysseysafaris.com/?p=123

Custom Structure

Many thanks,

It shouldn’t matter what theme you are using. You can change the permalink structure at any time although you might be better off sticking to one of the presets that “rolling your own”. The only casualty of the change may be incoming links but, if you have been using the default permalink structure up to now, WP will handle all of the redirects. Also, bear in mind that the permalink structure only affects Posts directly. all Pages use %/pagename%/ automatically as soon as you use any non-default permalink structure.

Thanks very much esmi
