Hi ThemeCo!

I’m currently trying to add a custom structure for permalinks. When I do that, my pages display a 404.

I have tried multiple solutions (vanilla “save”, checking .htaccess file, disabling plugins, etc.) to no avail.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

Which custom permalink structure you are using. Make sure to use proper syntax if you write your own permalink structure. You can check this to see how it works – https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

Just looking to give a custom url to each page. No structure actually.

Hello There,

Could you please give us an example of your custom url? Or you mean to use a URL shortener? For more details about permalinks and urls, you may check these out:

Please let us know how it goes.

E.g. http://www.website.com/thisismycustomslug instead of http://www.website.com/?page_id=1423

I have done this on at least 3 dozen websites so those links aren’t of any help

Hi there,

I was able to fix this by updating permalink settings, please check it.

Hope it helps.

Wait, how? I have been fiddling with the permalink settings for 2 days now!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. Check the permalink settings under Settings > Permalinks. You just needed to set “Post name” to get this structure.

Cheers!
