.html Wordpress permalink on PAGES plugin

May 2, 2008 – 5:55 pm

Recently creating a Wordpress site and i noticed a little problem, you can add .html in the settings which work fine for POSTS but not pages!

I wrote a small plugin that will add the .html to the end of PAGE urls, it will add the .html to the pages menu and add .html to the page slug when writing a new page.

You will need permalinks activated obviously

NEW V1.1 .html on Pages

I have created a new version (v1.1) of this plugin, Just upload to your plugins folder, activate and away you go!
Improvements
No more mucking around editing / resaving pages.
Links return to normal when you deactivate.
Removes trailing slash ( .html/ ) if you use them in permalinks.
Works on subpages.
Tested Wordpress 2.5.1 up to 2.7 beta 3

Works well for me on Wordpress 2.6.2, hope it works ok for you too.

Download the plugin and place in your wp-content/plugins directory
Activate on your plugins page in WP Admin
If you dont have any PAGES, just go ahead a create some.
If you have PAGES already you will need to either create a NEW page or edit/save an existing page to add the .html
If you de-activate the plugin you will need to do the same, edit/save a PAGE to remove the .html

  3. Great Plugin! Works like a charm!

    Is there any way to tweak this plugin to exclude specified pages? …or the other way around, only work on one or two pages?

  6. It’s amazing how just a few lines of code can have such an impact. Thanks for putting this together! I’ve been scratching my head about what I was doing wrong, but now I know it’s just a WordPress “feature” :-)

  7. How can I modify the plugin to enable my pages to end in “.php” instead of “.html” ?

    I’m trying to migrate a site with .php page extensions into a cms wihtout having to do 301 redirects.

    thanks

  10. Hi. I tried this plugin with WP 2.6.1 and created a page. I then tried to look at the page, and was greeted with this message:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /wordpress/.html on this server.
    Apache/2.0.46 (CentOS) Server at billkath.co.nz Port 80

    What is wrong? Isn’t the plugin working for my site? I guess I’ll have to de-activate it.

    Cheers,
    Kath

  18. The .html appears on pages not posts

    By admin on Oct 31, 2008

  19. Thanks, it works great!

    @ Paul - u can set .html for posts from wordpress -> settings -> permalinks , just type .html after %postname% like this:

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%.html

  21. Works fine on 2.6.2 but not properly in 2.6.3. The line above the post/page editor where you type the page name does not appear at all.

  22. Works fine for me on 2.6.3
