Hi , I have found the way, i was just not doing it properly:

Once on the WordPress admin area, go to permalinks options:

https://www.davidcarralon.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php

select the last one: ‘custom structure’ and enter it this way

/blog/%postname%

or if you prefer it like this

/blog/%postname%/

so your blog posts will appear with the forward slash at the end of the url. I wonder myself if both approaches are equally SEO friendly.

I would quite like to add the .htm or .html extension now but if I install the .html plugin, I cant use the custom structure, so best to have urls without extension, that was my compromise. If anyone finds out how to add the .html or whichever extension based on the url structure model outlined on this thread, please go ahead and make a suggestion

cheers

hi,

this doesnt work, i have tried and instead my posts come out like this:

https://www.mysite.com/post1.htm
https://www.mysite.com/post2.htm
https://www.mysite.com/post3.htm

I want them to appear in the directory ‘blog’ any ideas at all, anyone else?
thanks
david

figaro, thanks, good video, if i go with your approach , will i be able to have my blog posts all appearing into blog/directory? like this:

https://www.mysite.com/blog/post1.htm
https://www.mysite.com/blog/post2.htm
https://www.mysite.com/blog/post3.htm

dolphin, thanks a lot, yes the static pages will be under wordpress too, i will try your approach too with my second blog and see which system brings me the best results

thanks again to both
david

you need to check your log files on your server via SSH … if you use apache, this is roughly the path: tail/usr/local/psa/var/log/mailog
