Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Marty,

Worked perfectly

Thanks again Marty,

I've a couple of questions before I go ahead and implement those changes.

• Will this work for pages and not just blog posts?  I'm more concerned about the pages right now.
• Also will I just be able to use the Permalinks section in Settings or will I need to install the Custom Permalinks plugin to be able to produce page urls such as
  companyname/services/oracle/admin
  companyname/services/oracle/dev
  companyname/services/SAP/admin

Thanks again for all your help.  I really appreciate it

Hi Marty,

Back again.  I've been working on this issue again this morning and now have admin access.  A few new things have been discovered.  This site is running on Azure and IIS so it seems that the .htaccess file is not needed but instead uses the web.config instead.  I've tried updating that per this article but it still doesn't work.  I think this might be more for blogs though rather than the plugin I've tried.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Marty,

Thanks for your response.  I've passed this over to our admin for him to check.  I'll post again pending the result from that.

Hello,

I installed this plugin and I'm having trouble making it work. I'm new to WordPress so was hoping someone can help me out.

I'm looking to set up the following pages for example
http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1
http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services2

I do the following steps

1. Add New Page
2. Enter the following title "Services1"
3. Enter the following text in the Permalink textbox "Services/Services1" replacing the default text "?page_id=140"
4. Then I publish the page.
5. This automatically updates the "Custom Fields" section below. The name is set to "custom_permalink" and the value is set to "Services/Services1".
6. Then I "view page" but get a 404 error. The url is "http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1"

Some additional info

1. 1. WordPress version 9.8.3
2. Settings - Permalinks is set to "post name"
3. Custom Permalinks version 0.7.18

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
