I need to change the customized URl of wordpress, where I pass the id in querystring to get data from my custom table. Now i want to see the title instead of that id.
Ex. My site link id http://xyz.com/?page_id=1&pid=12
Now if i try the wordpress permalink it will convert the wp page only like http://xyz.com/test?pid=12
What can i do to make the URl like http://xyz.com/test/title. Where title is stored in database for pid=12.
Yes this is possible and actually pretty easy. Go to /wp-admin/options-permalink.php and look for the custom option that you want. You must have access to the server to update the .htaccess file. Here is more info.
if you want the name of your page to appear as in:
http://www.xyz.com/about/
instead of something like:
http://www.xyz.com/?page_id=398
- login to your back end of wordpress
- under the settings menu(on left side) click permalinks
- click custom structure and in the text field type in:
/%postname%/
