Pretty permalinks

The next thing to configure is our permalinks. Permalinks are the unique URLs that a browser uses to display a given page in our site. At the moment our site uses the default style of permalinks, which means they look something like this:

http://rachelmccollin.co.uk/opensourcemagazine/?p=7

That ?p=7 at the end of the URL isn't very helpful for two main reasons:

  • User-friendliness: The URL tells users nothing about the content of the page or post being viewed and isn't very easy to remember.
  • SEO: Search engines use URLs for information when indexing sites. That URL won't help search engines to determine what the page is about.

Luckily, WordPress makes it easy to improve our permalinks.
