Getting Started - Setting Permalinks

Back to User Guides

Step 1) WordPress Settings Permalinks

Adjusting the settings for your WordPress site's permalinks is a great way to troubleshoot! Before using CM Answers, make sure your WordPress Permalinks settings are set correctly to “Post Name” or to a “Custom Structure”, for example. If the permalink is set to "default", CM Answers may not work well and will render 404 errors.

To access Permalink Settings, navigate to Permalinks under Settings in your WordPress admin area.

Next, make sure to make the Permalink Common Settings either "Numeric", "Post name", or a Custom Structure, for example. Be sure to change the settings from the default. 

Step 2) Answers Settings Permalinks

Head to Settings → General tab. 

• Answers permalink - By default, the plugin users "answers". Example: www.site.com/answers/thread.
  
  Change this field to modify it.
  Examples: 
  • change to "forum" to get www.site.com/ forum/thread .
  • leave it blank to get www.site.com/thread
• Categories URL part - By default, the plugin uses "categories". Example: www.site.com/answers/categories/category1
  
  Change this field to modify it. 
  
  Example: change to "topic" to get www.site.com/topic/category1.
