He,

How do I change the slug of the blog template?

I now have this http://www.weydelandkaas.nl/blog

but I want to change it to http://www.weydelandkaas.nl/nieuws

[Zeljan Topic]

Open your blog page and change the slug, simple as that. Pick Blog template for that page.

[Jonathan Fokker]

Well, not really. Offcourse that will change the slug of that page:)

But what about the items within the blog posts?

E.g. I have this URL: http://weydelandkaas.nl/blog/speciaal-weydeland-kaaskwartet-bij-uw-weydeland-aankoop/

This is a news items, but the slug in /blog/. Can I change that to /nieuws/special….

How did you setup your blog page? – via page template or Settings / Reading as a static posts page?

You should be able to control the permalinks for this inside Settings / Permalinks. Make sure .htaccess file is created after you’ve changed your posts permalinks Custom structure. I usually recommend using only ‘Post name‘ as a permalink structure as this is more SEO friendly.

I did set up my blog page as a page template.

So the page Nieuws has the blog template.

This is fine, but the slug of the posts still go to blog/postname and not nieuws/postname.

I have set up in my Permalinks only postname.

Any other suggestions?

[Zeljan Topic]

You’ll need to push this to .htaccess file, since it’s probably a hosting configuration issue. It shouldn’t add anything to before your post’s slug, neither blog nor nieuws.

He Zeljan,

I talked to my hostingprovider but they say it’s not related to the server.

This is my situation.

When going to the Permalinks section I see this (see attachment).

As you can see is the weydelandkaas.nl/blog totally grey. I cannot change this to something else.

I tried to fix it with my hosting provider, checked everything in the database, but couldn’t fix it.

I have set it up like this:

One  page (blog template) with the name Nieuws.

One page (blog template) with the name Blog.

On each page I want to output different categories, so I have used this http://demo.bizzthemes.com/bizznis/documentation/tutorials/modify-content-loop/

Can you help?

[Zeljan Topic]

This is definitely a hosting configuration that can only be changed with .htaccess file or hosting provider. With this tutorial for more information: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
