Two issues with the Blog

[dekket]

First off, I am completely unable to keep the blog posts under /blog/. The Blog Posts Page is set to the page with /blog/ slug, but it still ends up http://thesite.com/<category name>/<post name>
The permalink structure is set to /%category%/%postname%/

Second, the Page Header on the Blog page just won’t show up… The ‘show page header’ tickbox is ticked in, but nothing appears. I’ve also tried enabling the Swift Slider with ‘posts’ but still nothing. I’m a bit baffled to be quite frank as I’ve done very little customization, and that’s all CSS…

I now see in the Documentation, that I _should not_ set the blog page in the Settings > ‘reading’ page. I wonder though – how can I then get the /blog/ in the URL of the posts?..

You can insert a Blog element with the Page Builder in any page. So you’d simply create a page called Blog and insert that blog element. You’ll have /blog/my-post/ as the URL (provided that the appropriate permalink structure is used).

What is the appropriate perms link structure then? You saw what I wrote previously?..

[Cosmin – SUPPORT]

Apologies, must have been tired when writing that.

Have you tried setting your permalink structure to this?

/blog/%category%/%postname%/

Just tested and works fine 🙂

That works for the blog, but it screws up the portfolio. The portfolio LINKS become /blog/portfolio/<whatever>, but the portfolio pages don’t actually exist there. They are still on /portfolio/<whatever>

Hmmm, didn’t think about that.

The only option I can think of in this case would be to have a master category called Blog, to which you’d add child categories and have your posts belong in these child categories only.

Using /%category%/%postname%/ should then render blog posts as /blog/category-name/post-name

Yea I guess that’s a solution, albeit a bit clunky…

This is cause for some improvement on the portfolio-pages, no?.. I mean, this out to be solvable…

In order to even get this working, I had to do the same for all taxonomies. The Portfolio items had to go into portfolio > web, for instance, instead of just “web”.

The Permalink-settings don’t seem to play well with Flexform at all to be quite frank.

Well, post permalinks are strictly WordPress-related, they have nothing to do with a theme. Post permalinks are set in WordPress, they’re not set by the theme. The issue here is more with how you want to structure them, and that is a little outside WP’s reach.

Ah I see.
I’ve edited my category structure now so all looks fine URL and Breadcrumb-wise.

Thx.

No worries, glad to help and to hear it’s working as you want it now 🙂
