major permalink/ link issue

[Paulawog]

Angie,

Thanks, I just read the blog.......I am amazed at how simple something is, when you know what to do.

I am learning, more and more each day and know one day I will be where you all are....Thank Lynn for me, her report was the first one I read that put me on this path, something that I have always wanted to do.

I think it's worth mentioning that the makers of WordPress strongly recommend that you do not use just the post name as your permalink, for "performance reasons." It has something to do with WordPress not knowing if the link is a page or a post, and therefore having to store bunches of extra info in the database and slowing it down. The WordPress codex recommends using some kind of numeric field first, such as /%post_id%/%postname%

Just FYI.

Yes, Cindy,

I also read that in Lynn's article..... I just changed it to that one.

Thanks
Paula

Wordpress recommend against using post name as permalink for performance. This confuses the engine about whether it is a link or a post. Use a numeric field before the link.
