maybe anybody know why wordpress generate link like this: portfolio/all/#.UHSbFy5mJIk
I make bold the permalink strange place
I have no changes in wordpress core
I'm going to assume you have a sharing plugin enabled that is appending the extra stuff to your URL. This is tracking data to let you know how your links are being shared.

I've had my WordPress site for about a decade now, and originally I never set any custom settings for permalinks, so my permalinks are all of the form /?p=123.
I'd like to start using permalinks that incorporate the post name in the URL. It looks easy enough to change this. It's my understanding that WordPress will likely update all my permalinks internally, but there exist a lot of external links to my site that point to existing permalinks, and I don't want those to stop working.
Will WordPress keep supporting visits to old plain-style permalinks if I change the setting? It seems like it should be able to since it's just using a URL query param and the other permalink styles use the URL's path, but I don't want to assume it does and be wrong.
And if this is not the case, is there a straightforward way I can set up the redirects? I have hundreds of posts and it would be tedious to make a manual redirect for each one.
Update: yes, the plain style permalinks keep working after you set another structure for your permalinks. They will redirect.
Okay so my problem is that, I am currently working on a website which is already been created using wordpress. My problem is that when you see the website page, there is all the data and everything is present. But when I come to the backend of the page in wordpress its not showing any content at all. I mean its like there has never been the data at all in this page. Its so confusing. Please answer me this. And kindly remember that I am not a good coder so anything that is related to coding please ellaborate it with examples.
I 've fixed it.
The problem is in charset of db.
Open wp-config.php file and just change charset to utf8 & comment the old one.
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
Thanks
Like the other commenters mentioned, you can also insert content into pages on Wordpress with pages on custom themes.
Remember to back up your site before you make any changes.
Try to change your theme by going to 'Appearance->Themes' in the Wordpress admin window and activating a new theme. Head to the page in question and see if the content is still there. If it isn't, it's being added in a custom theme, which is probably what's happening.
If that's all you need to know, you're all set - otherwise, you can use this process to find what's creating the content:
Go to your Wordpress installation directory (you'll know you're there when you see folders like 'wp-admin' and 'wp-content'), then go to 'wp-content->themes' and see what themes you have installed. You can dig around in the php files there to find the content being created. You'll need to play around with PHP if you want to learn more from there.
My product category urls currently look like: /product-category/category/category-name
Where the category-name is the only changing part. I would like to change /product-category/category to just /product-category, so my final url would look like: /product-category/category-name
Most of my google searches have yielded results relating to removing /product-category but I haven't found anyone talking about having this redundant extra /category in the url.
Any help is much appreciated.
You can solve this right in Wordpress. When you install woocommerce, a new setting shows up in you permalinks settings. In your wordpress dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks. Then when you scroll down beneath your regular wordpress permalink settings you will see one for woocommerce. There you can choose what you want to actually display.
Hope this helps out.
Update after comment
Ah I see, I read to fast. I would think you would have to do a rewrite to the core wordpress function for categories. Probably a decent amount of work in creating your own plugin to do it. Looks like this plugin does a good job of it but I haven't used it. Let me know if it works.

I don't know why I am having difficulties finding an answer for this, but I was. I am hoping it's quick and painless.
This is my first attempt at a WordPress site. I created a number of pages which reside in a standard navigation. Currently the nav links look like such:
?page_id=2
I want link to be friendly such as:
/restaurant/
I went into the permalinks and tried messing around with the options and I got the URLs to change but on click I get a 404. What am I doing wrong?
two things i could think of
Wordpress can't write the .htaccess file (a warning should be displayed on the permalink page). In that case update it by hand with code shown on the site.
mod_rewrite is disabled on your server http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
I am moving an old Drupal 4 installation to Wordpress 3, and rather than trying to go through the pain of moving the thousands of posts over, my plan is to leave the old site running on a subdomain (old.site.com).
I'm able to set up the wordpress permalinks to look like the URLs the Drupal site's pathauto module was generating, but now I need to create permalinks for all those old posts that don't exist on the new site. For example:
http://site.com/author-name/title-of-post exists on the old Drupal site.
I want to create a permalink in Wordpress with the same URL, then have it forward to http://old.site.com/author-name/title-of-post
This way any existing Google indices that point to the existing post will still work, and (hopefully) we don't lose any Google prominence
What is the best way to do this? Thanks in advance.
Bonus Question: Does anyone actually know how this would affect SEO?
I would add the following plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
And then create blank pages or posts in WordPress to get the link structure you want. The plugin adds an option to the post edit screen to set a 301 redirect to your other URL. That should provide the mechanics of what you want to do.
As for SEO, it's suboptimal for the new site since spiders, visitors, and bookmarks will all end up on the old site. I would use the above as a temporary solution and slowly copy/paste the content over or figure out a clever database import to move it over. In the long run, that will be better for you.
