I am trying to switch my permalink from "Plain" to get my Wordpress REST API working. But every tutorial shows people going to settings>permalink to change it, why isnt it showing up. Apparently it inst showing up on pro accounts as of 6 days ago.
My Word Press Setting
I tried searching through wordpress, newer tutorials, could not find anything.
You can't change permalink on Wordpress.com, Wordpress.org supports permalink change.

I have created an additional pages for my portfolio yet the permalink on the site only links to my homepage. Any time I even want to preview one of my other pages (unpublished or published), it takes me to the same homepage. Any advice?
I think you can check permalink settings.
There are several ways to use links in wordpress.
You can find permalink setting on admin dashboard/settings/permalink.
If you can't get any improved, I recommend that you 'd rather check console in developer mode on your browser, fix all the errors.
I've been dealing with a really strange Permalink Issue on my WordPress site which runs Sage 8.5.1, previously setup by another developer.
Yesterday, I made a new homepage live on my site within Settings > Reading, and after doing this the permalinks within my site seemed to stop working completely. I was using the setup: /%postname%/, when switching to the generic: ?p=123, all my links worked again.
I did quite a lot of testing, checking .htaccess file, deactiving plugins, going back a code version and other things.
This morning, the last thing I tested was activating the generic WordPress theme and then testing my permalinks (/%postname%/), and they worked. I then reactivated by original theme built on Sage 8.5.1, and all my links worked again with the original permalinks setup.
Has anyone come across this before? Its very strange, and I can't see why deactivating the theme, and then activating it would fix the problem.
Turns out it was something to do with a custom post type I setup. I removed the custom post type, and created a new one based on the WordPress codex and that solved the problem.
I have a website with some large number of posts like (75k posts).
Till now, i am using a plugin called Main Category As Sub-domain to convert categories into sub-domains.
ISSUE - 1 → In recent wordpress 4.7 update, few functions of that plugins are depreciated. I don't think that plugin's author is going update it.
ISSUE - 2 → I tried to use its alternative plugins, but they are having some permalink restrictions which are causing 404 errors for my existing posts. So, i cant use them.
My current permalink structure is /%post_id%/%postname%/
After all, I decided to convert my single WP into Multisite.
I followed all steps in http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
But after changing .htaccess and wp-config.php, I logged out.
ISSUE - 3 →When i login again, i am not seeing anything new in WP Dashboard. (i.e) Network is not setup. I tried it many times but no use.
I am not able to understand what is causing this issue.
ISSUE - 4 → Also, i tried to create an alternative WP multisite to export all category posts to specific sub-sites. I know this will work but taking long time to process exporting and importing as i can only export 2000-2500 posts at once.
MY IDEAS
Using .htaccess rules to redirect 404 errors when using alternative
plugins.
Importing and Exporting posts with help of MySQL.
I don't know whether these are possible or not. But
Please help me, setup a network for my site.
Or provide any alternative idea.
Any kind of response would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
In wp-config.php make define('WP_DEBUG', true);. It will show you what and where the problem is.
I've been having this problem a couple times now and I'm not sure what is causing it. I have tried disabling all plugins, resetting permalinks, and resetting to the default .htacccess file but this time I seem to not be able to fix this issue.
Whenever I try to visit any post or page, instead of displaying a post at /post-name/ it displays a list of my latest posts.
I thought I read about the publishing dates affecting this once but I'm not sure.
Any help you could provide would be awesome!
edit: I've installed and activated a different theme and it did not solve the problem. I still see a list of lastest posts on every page/post.
If you have the Yoast SEO plugin enabled, try deactivating it or making sure there are no links with permanent 301 redirects to Home
To preface this, all of this functionality was working until a few weeks ago. I have a wordpress site with postname permalinks. Have had this since day 1 and its worked out well until recently.
It's related to portfolios and wordpress (3.4.2).
Suddenly (perhaps after some recent plugin update or change in wind direction:) ) I started getting 404s on all my portfolio 'items'.
Portfolio list (page) works ok. Such as http://www.dasilvamotorsport.com/performance-project-portfolio/
I switched permalinks to default (numeric). And suddenly portfolio items like the below started showing:
http://www.dasilvamotorsport.com/portfolio-item/honda-nsx/
But portfolio category doesn't show:
http://www.dasilvamotorsport.com/performance-project-portfolio/
Switching back to postname as permalink basically reverts back to the original issue that portfolio items don't show up. I had heard that permalinks may need a refresh but this hasn't helped me. I've refreshed a dozen times, restarted the server, checked and double checked .htaccess to no avail.
Again, all of this was working perfectly until a couple of weeks ago so really not sure what happened. Is there something I can debug or try? I've tried WP_DEBUG but for some reason the debug.log file is never created so not sure what's going on there. (Yes, I've tried wp_debug_log parameter also).
No errors relating to this in the apache error log.
Appreciate any help on this.
I have been running this on a ubuntu 11.10 box, with apache2 and varnish cache as a front end. Nothing has changed in terms of infrastructure since day 1 when it worked.
first of all category link you mentioned is not the correct category link, it must be as
http://www.dasilvamotorsport.com/category/performance-project-portfolio/
which is by default.
2nd go to the permalink structure and use the default structure and save them check if is it working correct ?
if yes then again select the %postname% and save,
last you can also try by deactivating all your plugins then check if all the things working fine, after deactivation of plugins then try to reactivate plugins 1 by 1 , so that you can find, if there is any bug in any of the plugins that is making conflict with the permalinks.
thanks.
Have you checked it after deactivation of all your plugins ? if it works then there may be a bug in any of the plugins.
then reactivate them 1 by 1, so that you can find the exact faulty plugin,
thanks,
