In reply to: changing permalinks or slugsOk , i have used the option ” postnames” under settings in dashboard, what i don’t quite understand is what does the option do , if i go on a certain page and click on edit next to where it says “permalinks ” i can then add wording that is displayed next to my original page title, is it just for seo , remember I’m not changing my page name completely
in other words
FROM
http://www.airsat.co.za/about-us
TO
http://www.airsat.co.za/about-us-tv-installer-dstv-sound/i can then still click on my page ” about us ” in my main menu and it will bring up the page still but in the address bar it will display “
http://www.airsat.co.za/about-us-tv-installer-dstv-sound/”
is this still part of permalink or is it called a slug ?

In reply to: Site with www, and without webmastertoolsHello Peter
I don’t know that much and have been doing everything myself and learned a lot. So please try to explain in (English) 🙂
In General settings should I change my site to the non (www) version in other words .airsat.co.za , what would happen then if customers type in there browser http://www.airsat.co.za
My wordpress installation was done in default I believe then wordpress always install in the non (www) directory , but I would like my website to display with the (www) prefix http://www.airsat.co.za
I have checked DNS A and both http://www.airsat.co.za and airsat.co.za is pointing to same IP address, and no CNAME records show on http://www.airsat.co.za
OK so should I change is General setting in wordpress like the following
Current
Wordpress address url —- http://airsat.co.za
Site address url — http://www.airsat.co.za
TO The Following
Wordpress address url —- http://www.airsat.co.za
Site address url — http://www.airsat.co.zaAnd then go to webmaster tools and tell google to use the http://www.airsat.co.za as prefer
Thank you
Best wishes
