    Hi,

    I am trying to add categroy to the single permalink.

    so it reads root/page/CATEGORySLUG/name/john-doe

    regards,
    Thomas

    @ Thomas

    Sorry, but it is not possible to put the category slug in that location in the permalink.

    IS it possible in another location?

    optimal I would like it to be:

    /artsen/gecertificeerde-artsen/yvonne-aarnink/

    translates to:
    /page/category/item

    Is this impossible?
    Paid script?

    regards,
    Thomas

    If not possible, is it possible to remove the word /name/ form the url. I tried to remove it from advanced settings but didnt work.

    Sorry, no, it is not possible to remove the permalink slugs. They must exist. It is just how WordPress works. It needs the key/value pairs in order to function because this is how WordPress “know” how read the URL. So a category URL has to be:

    directory.com/directory-home-page/cat/category-slug/

    You can change the cat part of the URL on the Connections Settings Advance admin page. But if you change it, it must be a value which does not conflict with WordPress or other custom post types (CPT) permalinks.

    An individual entry permalink has to be this:

    directory.com/directory-home-page/name/entry-slug/

    You can change the cat part of the URL on the Connections Settings Advance admin page. Again, if you change it, it must not conflict with other WordPress permalink slugs.

    If you do not have the permalink slugs, WordPress will assume you are trying to load a blog post and thru a 404 not found error.

    Ok I understand. No need to change then. My url is already optimal as to what is possible. We will live with the simple form:

    page/name/johndoe

    one side question (if I may), I am using your beta postcode search thing. Works well.
    Question: Can this search within a category?

    regards,

    ps. Dont really agree with “the way wordpress works” because a blog post can have the category in the url and so can a woocommerce product. Why not a connections connection?

    regards,
    Thomas
