Hi. I have a blog in Wordpress and I have some noob questions, do you have to edit this kind of links when adding blog posts, ex: domainname.com/?p=40 ?????
Should I edit the link to: domainname.com/categoryname/blogposttitle??

Does it affect the SEO?

  • I usually use the post name as the permalink. It is better for SEO if you have your keywords in the url.

    To change it just go to 'settings' >> 'permalinks' then 'custom' and put in /%postname%/

    • Thanks Sheryl!
  • Its better to use /%category%/%postname%/
    for performance reasons
    WordPress suggests it also.
