Edit Permalink Structure

WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URI structure for your permalinks and archives. The following “tags” are available:

• %year% --- The year of the post, 4 digits, for example 2004
• %monthnum% --- Month of the year, for example 05
• %day% --- Day of the month, for example 28
• %postname% --- A sanitized version of the title of the post. So "This Is A Great Post!" becomes "this-is-a-great-post" in the URI
• %post_id% --- The unique ID # of the post, for example 423

So for example a value like /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ could give you a permalink like /archives/2003/05/23/my-cheese-sandwich/ . For this to work you'll need mod_rewrite installed on your server for the rule generation rule to work below. In the future there may be other options.

Use the template tags above to create a virtual site structure:

Using the permalink structure value you currently have, , these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase <?php echo $site_root; ?> <?php $rewrite = rewrite_rules('', $permalink_structure); foreach ($rewrite as $match => $query) { echo 'RewriteRule ^' . $match . ' ' . $site_root . $query . " [QSA]\n"; } ?>
