Looks like you have a third party extension installed in firefox that automatically adds content to your posts.

This page in the codex is offers several solutions you can use to change the url:

Which theme are you using?

As the answers are theme dependable.

Do you have any widgets set up? As you may have the meta widget in your sidebar. And if you don’t then the theme is just showing some default options. So adding a widget to the sidebar will customise it and override the current default settings.

Where is the word Category being displayed?

Again depending on the theme there may be an option in the theme options to add your own footer text otherwise you need to open the footer.php file in your theme and manually modify the text.

FTP into your website open the .htaccess file in the root and delete everything that isn’t contained within:

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

Otherwise delete the .htaccess file but you will need to redo any custom permalink settings after.

The index.php is part of what makes up the theme your using. Generally it would be accessed via FTP. But could also be found via a File Editor in your hosts control panel or within the Appearance > Themes > Editor settings of the wp-admin. But what I suggested may be overkill for your needs right now.

If all you wish to do is display one post then go to the wp-admin panel:
Settings > reading > Blog pages show at most

Change to 1. This will show only one post per page. Should you wan’t a bit more control over showing n number of posts on different pages in the future then my first suggestion would be worth following.

The first place to start with learning more about WordPress is within the codex:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Main_Page

You can convert your HTML site to WordPress. Start with the codex:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Stepping_Into_Templates

There are lots of tutorials that will walk you through the steps and can easily be found with a quick search.

Depending on your ability/time to invest/willingness to learn you may be better off finding a pre-made free or paid theme that fills your design criteria and using that instead then re-adding your content to the WordPress site.

That isn’t a real url.

Try logging in here: https://theengineinstitute.org/wp-admin

If you can’t use phpMyAdmin then you’re pretty limited.

What you could do is create another user account, then assign a hundred or so posts to it as the author. Use the built in WordPress exporter to only export the posts by that author.

Have you tried to contact the author of the theme for support? That should be your first port of call for a paid for product.

Open the index.php or the related file/location you want this modification to be on and look for:

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

Replace with:

<?php the_title(); ?>

That will remove the links from the titles. You could limit posts to 5 via the WordPress admin > Settings > Reading

There is literally 101 ways you could approach this.

The simplest explainable method I can think of would be:

– Create a copy of your index.php and rename it home.php then open home.php. Look for something at the start of the ‘loop’ that resembles:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Replace with:
<?php $i = 0; while (have_posts() && $i < 1) : the_post(); ?>

Then find:
<?php endwhile; ?>

Replace with:
<?php $i++; endwhile; ?>

Save and close. If you want to increase the number of posts then change && $i < 1) to reflect the # of posts to display.

This is a styling issue. Use something like firebug to inspect the code. Look for a missing or incorrectly nested </div>

I don’t quite understand your question but WordPress does the redirection automagically to avoid breaking urls. It’s controlled in a table within the WordPress database.

Multisite would be overkill imo. This could easily be achieved with two category templates. Suggest you look at using:

get_template_part

Download the _s theme and have a look how it splits content.

Ok I just tried it on a dev blog and the links are loading fine using this:

Example:
https://dev.xb3.co.uk/test-page/

If they still don’t work then that suggests a wider problem with the theme. Try temporarily switching themes and then testing to confirm or not.
