Adding a word to the custom permalink

    Hi,

    At the moment I’m using urls in the following structure:

    /%category%/%postname%

    However I want to change it to:

    news/%postname%

    but if I do this I get 404 errors.

    I know changing urls after a site has been around is bad for seo but I plan to 301 the urls with .htaccess so there won’t be an issue.

    RewriteRule ^category/([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)/ http://domain.com/news/$1 [R=301,L]

    Sorry you are in the wrong forum – see the reply by the supportbot above – you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG.
