I'm looking for a way to rename a category in the permalink of a WordPress site.
I currently have this:
http://mywebsite.com/category/some-blog-post/
I want this:
http://mywebsite.com/company-news/some-blog-post/
I found a way to do it via .htaccess file, but I would prefere not to do it, because it temporarily lowers PageRank. Is there a way to do it on backend?
Yes, go to settings/permalinks and just change the category base name and it goes the same for tags. here is a screenshot:

To change it go to Settings » Permalinks and scroll down to Optional. There you will see a form to change category base and tag base. For example you can change http://www.example.com/category/your-category-slug/ to http://www.example.com/new-category-base/your-category-slug/

I want to add parent to posts in wordpress, for that I need to change the permalinks, but I am not able to figure it out.
for e.g. if the current url is www.abcd.com/postname
I want it like this, www.abcd.com/posts/postname
Thank you in advance
First, you need to visit the Settings » Permalinks page in your WordPress admin. There you need to click on the ‘custom structure’ option under the common settings area.
Next, you need to add /%category%/%postname%/ in the field next to the custom structure.
I have used /%category%/ just as an example. Change it accordingly.

I have already modify the link for Edit link using "post_row_actions" filter.. But i need the help with this..
You can't change links for the backend. If you want to change link of your post use Settings -> Permalinks. You can change the links of posts, pages, etc.
So, I have a website for news and I have the following:
www.mywebsite.com/category/football
www.mywebsite.com/category/basketball
www.mywebsite.com/category/tennis
Etc... how can I remove /category/ from these, so it only works with /football dir.
Any help is appreciated.
Easiest thing to do is use a plugin and not .htaccess rewrite rules or changes to the permalink settings in WP admin. The plugins below will remove the category base for category archive pages as well as single posts. The category or tag base will revert to normal when the plugins are deactivated without post 404's.
See http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-category-base/ and, if needed, http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-tag-base/
http:/yourblog.com/category/quotes/
If you want to remove /category/ from the url, follow these two steps:
Go to Settings >> Permalinks and select Custom and enter: /%category%/%postname%/
Next set your Category Base to /.
Save it and you’ll see your URL changed to this format:
http:/yourblog.com/quotes/

I am working on a Wordpress application. I have created a custom page for articles landing page. The permalink for articles is working fine but I have problems when I click on a category name. For example: If I click on "jobs" category the URL looks like http://www.mysite.com/category/articles/jobs/. I want it to look like http://www.mysite.com/jobs/.
I am not sure if this is something I did that is causing this or just default wordpress behaviour. So, any ideas/suggestion how I can fix this?
Thanks.
I think your solution is either in this plugin or in its source code:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-category-base/
It will work as long as you don't use the same slug for a page and a category (because they will in this case have the same permalink).
I want to be able to add a segment to WordPress permalinks, so that my website's url changes like this:
instead of http://www.mywordpresswebsite.com/postname/
it should read http://www.mywordpresswebsite.com/coolstuff/postname
How can I do that?
In wordpress Backend
Go to Settings -> Permlinks OR 'yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php'
Choose last option: custom permalink and add /coolstuff/%postname%/
That should work for your case.
