Wordpress links questions?
I have created a blog using wordpress on my host server. However each new page I create has a very weird link e.g. the contact page instead of having a simple link like: domainname.com/about/ has a link like domainname.com/?page_id=6
How do I correct this so the links are simpler?
Many thanks
Hi there,
You need to change the permalink structure.
Go to settings and permalinks in your Wordpress control panel and you will be able to change it in there.
Please note you may need to either make your .htaccess file writeable or create one by doing this.
The Wordpress Demystified program at http://www.wordpressdemystified.com will show you exactly how to do this.
Hope that helps, but please let me know if I can do anything else to help.

Go to Settings and click on Permalinks. Then under Common Settings, click the format you would prefer. Then click Save Changes.
If you don’t like what you’ve chosen you can go back and do it again until you get the URL that you want.
