WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URI structure for your permalinks and archives. The following “tags” are available:

')?>

• %year% --- 2004') ?>
• %monthnum% --- 05') ?>
• %day% --- 28') ?>
• %postname% --- this-is-a-great-post” in the URI') ?>
• %post_id% --- 423') ?>

So for example a value like:

/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

would give you a permalink like:

/archives/2003/05/23/my-cheese-sandwich/

In general for this you must use mod_rewrite, however if you put a filename at the beginning WordPress will attempt to use that to pass the arguments, for example:

/index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

If you use this option you can ignore the mod_rewrite rules.

') ?>

Use the template tags above to create a virtual site structure:

') ?>

Using the permalink structure value you currently have, %s, these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file.

'), $permalink_structure) ?>

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase <?php echo $home_root; ?> <?php $rewrite = rewrite_rules('', $permalink_structure); foreach ($rewrite as $match => $query) { if (strstr($query, 'index.php')) echo 'RewriteRule ^' . $match . ' ' . $home_root . $query . " [QSA]\n"; echo 'RewriteRule ^' . $match . ' ' . $site_root . $query . " [QSA]\n"; } ?>

If your .htaccess file is writable by WordPress, you can edit it through your template interface.

'), 'templates.php?file=.htaccess') ?>
