Wordpress on-page SEO question
 

If my goal was to rank my pictures category for key word "porn pictures" what would be the best link structure?

http://www.domain.com/porn/pictures
http://www.domain.com/category/porn-pictures

Unfortunately wordpress does not allow me to do http://www.domain.com/porn-pictures as my category

you can do porn-pictures

Yes it does. Go into your permalinks and add "/." (without quotes) to your category structure.

I found a plugin that allows you to manually edit the link structure but it does not work well on the new version of WP

how are you entering the category name?

Trying that now.

Edit: Damn that worked perfect. Thanks so much!

the permalinks option in wordpress is what you need

I just noticed it shows the "/." in my sitemap but when I hover my mouse over the link it looks just fine.

http://www.domain.com/./porn-pictures

Go to permalinks in your settings and just add the following:

If you want postname:
/%postname%/

If you want category:
/%category%/

If you want both:
/%category%/%postname%/

I do that already. The question I asked is different.

sorry you've lost me.

You want the category "porn pictures" in your permalinks?

Example url.com/porn-pictures/ ?

I want to remove the /category/ from my wordpress category url. Were not talking about post urls.

Category Name: Porn Pictures
Category Slug: porn-pictures

I just done it on a domain and it worked.

Example: berichblog.com/porn-pictures/ is the category. and is working if you copy/paste it.

permalinks are set to: /%category%/%postname%/

In categories i done:

Name: porn pictures
and left the "slug" empty but you could do porn-pictures to be sure.

make sure you have a post in there aswell or it might not display.

If you done the above and it still ain't working then I'm lost lol

Ever since I added "/." to the category base I get a 404 for the page2 page3 etc for each category.

http://www.domain.com/porn-pictures/page/2

It would be nice to remove the "page" and just have it http://www.pegginghusband.com/pegging-pictures/2

just delete the blog and start over maybe.

I am setting up the link structure on a new blog. :321GFY

delete your .htaccess

create a new one, give it proper permissions

try again

I found the solution.

This wordpress plugin just solved all my issues.

fris would know. Agreed.

Using /. in your structure is not a very wise move.

Just use WP NO Category Base.
