• Hello:

    I wanted a media section on my site using a plugin that was designed by a friend. That plugin requires a category taxonomy that would have changed the post structure of my main site, so I decided to set up the media section on a new directory with a new install of WordPress. So that would be yoursite.org/media. When it was on my main site I had the navigation links set up with the page of “Videos”. I decided that instead of trying to set everything up again I would do an export of the main site contents as an xml file per the WordPress Tools. I set up the new WordPress install on the new subdirectory and ran the importer to bring the original settings and such into the new install. The issue now is that the permalink structure is still including the old name of:

    yoursite.org/media/videos/category/video-name-here

    And I cannot get rid of the “videos” part no matter how much I try to update the permalink structure. What can I do to get it to just be:

    yoursite.org/media/category/video-name-here

    Thanks.

  • What’s the new permalink setting? Are you sure there isn’t a page using the videos slug?

    The setting is set to Custom with this:

    /%category%/%postname%/

    There is no page using that slug. I’ve looked, but nothing. the structure is

    yoursite.org/media/category/video-name-here but that part of the link is still there. No idea why.

    Still no resolution?

    Bueller. Bueller.

    It doesn’t make sense, if there are no pages and permalinks settings are changed, it should be gone by now. Can you check the .htaccess?

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /media/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /media/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    That is what it says. And I’m still getting the “videos” in the string.
