Andrew Miguelez on "Allow URL alias / permalink management"

Andrew Miguelez — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 03:43:51 +0000

Old aliases / permalinks are kept and redirected to the current permalink, which is wonderful. For retention of search engine links and other referrals, this is crucial when users change the permalink field. However, there is a huge part missing.

What happens when someone changes their site architecture? What about when someone switches to WordPress and needs old URLs to point to the correct pages in the fancy new WP URL structure? This needs to be addressed in a big way.

Not only should 'backed up' aliases / permalinks be shown and modifiable on the edit page, but there should be a settings page for viewing all or performing bulk actions on permalinks. This has probably been avoided because it's dangerous to give that much power to users. However, if only the 'backed up' aliases are shown in this settings page, then the current site permalinks would be safe at least.

The most important feature of this settings page, in my opinion, is the ability to quickly add aliases and assign them to pages/posts in the current site. This way redirection for all the 'old' URLs can be quickly set up when making major changes, like moving to WP and updating URL structure.

::EDIT::
I forgot to mention .htaccess. Thanks to Mika for reminding me in the comments.

WordPress is all about being simple to use and as powerful as possible, right out of the box. Requiring this functionality be handled by modifying the .htaccess or by other means through server settings is cruel. This is a big enough issue for many people who are moving their site over to WP for it to be included as a core feature and not a hole to be filled by plugins (at least not in its most basic state).

dbordin on "New way of organizing pages"

I have been a web designer for 4 years and I know WordPress since 2012.
It would be very good to re-evaluate the way pages are organized because when I have many pages it gets complicated to work with.

becoeq on "Produktfilter implementieren"

becoeq — Thu, 09 Feb 2017 16:10:13 +0000

Ich wünsche mir von seitens Wordpress ein Filtersystem mit dem importierte Produkte nach wirklich gefiltert werden können.

Bisher ist das ja so, das man zwar Produkte filtern kann das aber oft keinen Sinn macht. Es wird einfach nur das Kategoriensystem abgebildet.

Ich möchte es aber so haben, dass nur noch die Produkte angezeigt werden die auch das Kriterium des Filters erfüllen. So soll es möglich sein, dass wirklich nur die Produkte angezeigt werden die auch gefiltert wurden. Guckt euch das mal auf meiner Seite https://wildkamera-tests.com an. Dann wisst Ihr was ich meine.

Danke und slles gute

healthreport on "Set category to be used in URL when assigning 2 or more categories to a post"

yes, the default WP behaviour is a pb. you could get around this with plugins. for example (AVH Extended Categories Widgets) plugin shows categories from a group which is associated with the post/page that the visitor is looking at. Categories can be added to a group. Multiple groups can be made and every post/page can be associated with a different group.

Make this option available in WordPress to allow users to add and list sub-categories on parent category page so make navigation interesting and useful. Thanks.

montecristo2 on "Automatic building sublevels menus using subcategories."

montecristo2 — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 16:41:36 +0000

Hello, it seems that when building the top-level custom menu from categories entries, the nested subcategories hierarchy is not automatically added.
Is there a method to avoid adding manually all subcategories and reordering them by drag-and-drop when we publish a category menu entry?
And, is it possible to automaticaly add/reorder an accordingly submenu entry when a subcategory is added to a category? Like the checkbox "Automatically add new top-level pages" but for subcategories.
I try to look for a solution in the documentation, forums and pluggins but without any result. But maybe a solution already exists?
I am a newbie with WordPress, so after more researches, maybe I have understood the reason: because it seems that I can't reorder categories (without hacking category ID in database), so I can't also have an "arbitrary" order displayed in category widget (not alphabetic, or date, or ID), so it's the only method to allow "arbitrary" ordered entries in the top menu...
Sorry for my poor english, hope it's enough clear.

Can you give more information? In what additional ways do you want to display/order categories?
