With your help I managed to create friendly urls, but i have a further question..Is it possible to have multilingual friendly urls?? For the time being i have set the url to show the post name, but since the post name is in my native language when someone clicks on the english version it keeps the exact url and adds ?lang=en in the end, but such a url would make no sense to someone who cannot read my native language. Any solutions to that?thanx very usefull info and easy to implement thanx.

I did this in about 5 minutes but was afraid I was going to have to go back and fix all of the original internal page links. Wordpress automatically updated them all so I didn't have to do anything.

I am using your suggested %category%/%postname% regime, thanks for that. On the gallery page I have root/gallery/ when I open an image it stays the same is this acceptable or should it be seen as root/gallery/image.jpg etc? I like your site, useful even if I am not blogging Thanks I have a static site as there is no blog. I am using your suggested %category%/%postname% regime, thanks for that.

By changing the structure, all URLs will change to match the custom structure. No we are not saying that. By changing the structure, all URLs will change to match the custom structure.

It sounds like you're saying I need to go through and change the URL of every post on my site which sounds like a huge pain in the ass. Is that what you're saying? I'm just trying to set up a custom structure so I can use the W3 Total Cache plugin I just installed. Why do I need to change the URL for every post? Wait, I don’t understand something here.

There are plugins out there that can do this. Furthermore, yes you will loose the rankings on those pages for the time being, but because of the 301 redirect, you will get them back shortly as well.

Does it change the past posts to be SEO friendly too? And then your sitemap is totally redone? you don't screw up your ranking in the interim do you know?
