Permalinks – Portfolio and Blog
-
OK. I was just told that if I have a site which is http://www.site.com and I have a Portfolio page and a Blog page there, I cannot have links like this (Portfolio and Blog are different pages)
http://www.site.com/portfolio/post
http://www.site.com/blog/postI am trying to figure out how to configure the permalinks, but no success(and I am not a web dev or sth). I can do:
http://www.site.com/portfolio/post … but the blog posts even though I get to http://www.site.com/blog, when I click on a post it’s just http://www.site.com/post
Currently, the permalinks are configured with the Post name setting.
I would REALLY appreciate if anyone can help here!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I cannot have links like this (Portfolio and Blog are different pages)
http://www.site.com/portfolio/post
http://www.site.com/blog/postIt’s not clear what your example URLs represent. If in each case the extension “post” represents a permalink slug, in the first case, an URL of that form would be a portfolio project. In the second, the URL would represent a child page of the static page “blog.” If, however, you use the word “post” as shorthand to represent the combination of a timestamp and title slug of a post, then you are correct, that isn’t possible. In short, a post can not be added to a portfolio page or a static page.
Posts can only be added to the posts or blog page, AND there is only one posts page per website/blog. However, category pages may be used to display posts only of a certain category. Also, portfolio project tag and type archives pages can be used to display only projects with a certain tag or type assigned to them. See the “Viewing Portfolio Projects” section of the Portfolios support page.

That site at http://borishristov.com/blog is not hosted here by WordPress.COM and we cannot help you. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

@timethief, completely forgot the difference between hosted here and self-hosted. And still… is there such a difference between something that’s so general between those two?
@musicdoc1 thanks for that answer. It’s about a different site -> http://www.356labs.com. And you said it quite well. I am sorry I was not as clear as you. The idea is to have:
http://www.356labs.com/portfolio/projectname
http://www.356labs.com/blog/postnameObviously that is not possible and I have to go through something like a tag or category and those will be part of the link?

The first example is possible, and with the exception of the fact that the extension should be “project-slug” rather than “project-name” (because the slug and the name don’t have to be the same) it’s essentially the only possible form for the URL of a portfolio project.
The second example is not possible for the reason outlined above. To reiterate, “blog” represents a static page, and you can’t append a post on a static page.
Assuming category pages work the same on self-hosted WordPress.org site*, a category page on the your site would take the form
http://www.356labs.com/category/category-slugExamples of project type and tag archives pages for WordPress.com sites are provided in the “Viewing Portfolio Projects” section of the Portfolio support page, as follows:
- Project Type Archive – http://yourgroovysite.wordpress.com/project-type/project-type-slug/
- Project Tag Archive – http://yourgroovysite.wordpress.com/project-tag/project-tag-slug/

* I have no idea if this is the case. The advice provided by timethief is sound. The usual practice is to refer the requesting party to the proper forum, keeping WP.org and WP.com support issues separate due to the many differences between the two versions of WordPress.

And that is so strange because if you take a look at my other website(www.borishristov.com) where, however, I don’t have a portfolio page, but only a blog page(+ some others), all of my blog posts are actually http://www.borishristov.com/blog/postname. And at the same time, I cannot “make” that same thing “happen” somehow on the other site… :(

The bottom line here is: http://www.356labs.com/ is not hosted here and you are wasting your time asking anything at all about it here. That site is not hosted here by WordPress.COM and we cannot help you. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums.
