Forwarding slash in Wordpress URL

Question

I am moving my site from Drupal to Wordpress.

In Drupal, I can easily give an alias to URL and this alias could be anything., ie: www.example.com/abc/xyz/hello.html

But in Wordpress, it appears that I cannot do that with WP out of the box.

Any hint on how to do the same with Wordpress? I need to keep URL consistence.

Thank you

Answer 1

You may be interested in Settings -> Permalinks, but I think you want more than that.

Take a look at the feature list for the redirection plugin. This allows you to setup redirects to other pages or do pass through redirections. If this isn't what you are looking for then I think there are a couple other plugins that may accomplish what you want. Hope this helps!

I just found out this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/ and used it to add caracters like slashes and points, to the urls of a website i am moving to WordPress, so far it's working. Hope it will help !

You can change the default urls in the Settings -> Permalinks. You should also have the option to change the permalink when you add or edit a post. There are also plugins available for permalinks (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/)
