Im wondering if someone could give me a bit of advice.
Im looking for a plugin that allows me to rename URL's of posts and pages on the actual page itself, so they can go from:
http://www.example.com/post-here/
to something like
http://www.example.com/my-name/my-lastname/post-here
if that makes sense, i want to be able to name these URL's anything i want from within the post/page page.
Cheers
In the admin, inside options click on permalink.
Then you're able to set URL'S, to make something like your example this try :
/%author%/%postname%/
You can read the documentation to see all options
I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean but why don't use the redirection plug-in?

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.

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.

My current blog is www.bostonsbettah.com and my current permalink set-up is http://www.bostonsbettah.com/%category%/%postname%/
Now, in a perfect world, the a post should appear as something like www.bostonsbettah.com/bostonbruins/boston-bruins-1st-line-playing-like-a-1st-line/ and that should take you to the post. When I click on the page title at the top such as "Bruins Blog", it should take me to www.bostonsbettah.com/bostonbruins/ that has an archive of all posts categorized as "Bruins". Currently, however, every page besides the home page is a 404 error.
Now I know I can fix something in the .htaccess file and I know how to access it, but I don't want to mess with it as I don't know how to code. Is there a fix someone can provide that will allow me to fix my website? Thank you in advance.
Never,ever,ever put your blog URL inside custom permalink structure!. You must use one of the structure tags, or a combination of tags only.
Read the documentation first.
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 would like to know which WP plugin should I choose to allow every user who come to my page to add a post to my page form the frontend.
He just click on a button add a new post or something like that. Than a form appear and he inserts the title and uploads an image.
After that its published as a post.
Is there a solution like this available for WP?
Thanks in advance.
From what I know, there is no existing plugin doing it as you need. Even if it existed, I wouldn't recommend it's use for security reasons; it is hard to follow every uses and make sure visitors would post the way you want.
You are definitely better to code it by your own, and it's quite simple using the wp_insert_post function. This function will work anywhere you put it inside Wordpress (no need to build a plugin from scratch), so a simple form with validation would make it.
Hope it guides you on what you're looking for.
All my blog post URLs currently look like this: http://www.HeyItsMyBlog.com/?p=368
I want to change the URLs so instead they look like http://www.HeyItsMyBlog.com/2010/11/new-kittens-omg/
This is an easy change in the WordPress admin panel, but there are a bunch of people who have linked to my currently-formatted URLs around the web. How can I make the transition and ensure that it won't break the old links?
The latest version of Wordpress automagically interprets URLs of the form ?p=777 by redirecting the user to the corresponding pretty URL. You don't need to do anything special beyond enabling pretty URLs in the admin panel.
It works either way (when you set the permalink to your desired one). Test it of course. And oh, this question belongs to http://wordpress.stackexchange.com
