.html Wordpress permalink on PAGES plugin

Seems to work very well on my blog. thanks for sharing.

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?

very cool. Thank you for providing this. Works great on my 2.5.1 install as well.

Thanks, I was searching forever at the wordpress extend website. It worked like a charm!

Thanks a lot

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” :-)

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

thank you!

does someone know how to make it wp 2.6 plugin ready so it shows up in plugin directory and we can activate and deactivate it?

oops! my error, it is wp 2.6 ready to activate / deactivate. cool. ok, but how do we get the static home page to have a static url permalink with .html?

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

I have waited six days, and still my other comment has not been moderated. This forum does not seem to be active or functional.

sorry this is not a forum, but i will try to help if i can.

kath, do you have permalinks on??

how to remove the ending slash?

from
www. mysite.com/page.html/

to
www. mysite.com/page.html

Is there any chance you can write this plugin to work for category pages as well?

Thanks!

Thanks so much. I use Wordpress as a CMS for small sites so this worked perfectly!

Thank you.

Hi, Please help me. I uploaded the file and added 2 posts and .html is not coming.

Waiting for an early reply

Thanks,
Paul

The .html appears on pages not posts

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

This has become a standard plugin I use on all my installs.

Thanks for sharing!

DAN

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.

Works fine for me on 2.6.3

Thanks for sharing

Hi, I am using Wordpress 2.7 and it doesn’t appear to work in this version.

Any ideas what to do?

New version now available
.html on Pages Plugin for Wordpress 2.7

Excellent plugin.

Too bad it dont cooperate with the Google XML Sitemaps plugin. My sitemap.xml file isnt valid if I enable .html to pages :(

hi. Thanks for plugin

perfect.

Regards

Lars, i dont see any problems with Google XML Sitemaps plugin, all valid XML ?

Please describe the problem

The XML is valid, but the Sitemap plugin dont add .html to the static pages, so my sitemap points to domain.tld/page but the page is now only avalable from domain.tld/page.html

When accessing domain.tld/page you get a 404, so searchengines relying on the sitemap will be right confused.

Lars, ive tested this and it adds .html on the url’s in my sitemap.xml, strange

When i generate the sitemap without the plugin i get .tld/page then activate the plugin regenerate the sitemap and its .tld/page.html

Ok…. It donesnt do that on my end. I’ll do some more checking and come back to you.

I’m new to WP but using it as CSM and everyhing seems to work fine w/o he .html exension. What is the advantage of adding .html extension to WP pages?

Thanks

Just tested this plugin, on a WP 2.6.3 install.
Plugin doesn’t work here also.
It even mixes up the links!

A link to a page became domain.tld/category/id/post-name/name-of-page

So I disabled the plugin awaiting future updates… :)

Made a typo in last comment…

The URL became domain.tld/category/posting-id/name-of-page

GJtje, what other plugins you using?

This appends .html to page_structure so something else must be changing page_structure

I’m using quite a lot of plugins.
But they’re all needed so I can run my site properly.

I think the redirection plugin may interfere? :)

What’s the point of this plugin? What’s the difference with using the Permalink Options and picking a permalink structure like /%postname%.html ?

using the Permalink Options and picking a permalink structure like /%postname%.html wont add .html to your pages url’s

The problem with adding the .html extension to your posts, and pages, means your categories are not properly terminated, e.g. yoursite.com/category/wordpress

whereas it should really be: yoursite.com/category/wordpress/

bruce, yes thats true, Wordpress only adds the trailing slash if you do so in your permalink structure.

I use http://www.fastagent.de/res/download/smart-trailing-slash.zip to make sure i have the trailing slash when needed

Excelent!! works in imágenes para hi5

Thanks

Doesn’t seem to work on 2.6.5.

Works fine for me on 5 installs of 2.6.5

More details please – Errors displayed etc

I’m using WP 2.6.5.

The plugin works great for the most part, but it still allows a slash after my blog page.

Some info for better understanding:

My permalink structure:
/blog/%postname%.html

This is so that all blog posts are in a ‘blog’ directory. For example, a post would appear as:
mywebpage.com/blog/here-is-a-post.html

All of my other pages appear at the root, i.e.:
mywebpage.com/about.html

WP points the blog posts to my ‘blog’ static page (via Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays – then it points to my ‘Blog’ page). So the blog page is:
mywebpage.com/blog.html

And using this plugin, even though it makes WP link to:
mywebpage.com/blog.html
The page still loads as:
mywebpage.com/blog.html/

I’ve even tried using the ‘Smart Trailing Slash’ plugin, but to no avail.

Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide – and for the great plugin!

Brian,

The reason for this happening is because by using a PAGE as a static page for POSTS you are converting your chosen PAGE from a regular PAGE to a POST category page.

Hope that helps.

hi, funky plug, works fine

but:

1. domain.tld/parent/page.html
works fine

2. domain.tld/parent/parent/page.html
the .html is missing, why?

Question: is it possible to shrink all the parents to one page like:

domain.tld/parent-parent-page.html ?

thats my wish for christmas ;)

rock on.

(in the meanwhile i will try to “hack” your plug – if it works, i will send you a copy…)

seek,

cant see why you are getting that problem,
i have a site with upto domain.tld/parent/parent/parent/parent/page.html without any problems

Thanks for your quick reply!

I’m relatively new to Wordpress, is there some way to work around the fact that the plugin causes POST category pages to display as “.html/”? As I mentioned above, the only time this is an issue on my ‘blog’ page, since it’s a static page functioning as the ‘Index’ page normally would.

I’ve done some searching, but since your plugin is simultaneously the solution to one of my problems and the creation of a new one I’m not having much luck.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

sorry, my bad – pages with parents works…

but, what do you think about my christmas wish ? ;)

greets from germany

seek, glad its working ok

Not sure about your wish, will have a play when i get time

I have the same problem as some others, I need two of five pages to point to .php files, part of a forum linked to my blog.

Anyone have an idea how I can work around this, leave my permalinks and pages to wp files alone, then have the two forum pages point to .php files?

thanks!
eric

I have activated the plugin but i don see .html at the end of the pages..Suppose i click on one of my post links i don get .html at the end of the link .. what could be wrong…??

Hi,it works on PAGE links not POST links, set .html in your permalink settings for POSTS

HTH

Working like a charm on my Site but i have 2 Questions
1) how to redirect a link indexed in search engines to the new permalink?
for example: yoursite.com/category/postname/ to yoursite.com/category/postname.html

2) how do we disable it for pages or what should we do with the code so that it starts working with pages as well. because it is not working with a plugin on my site, “Dagon Design Form Mailer v5.41″

Great plugin.Thank you

I tested in wordpress 2.7 and not work.
Can you help me please.

Is there a simple way to modify this plugin to add .html to the end of category pages? I’d even be happy with it adding .html to the end of every url (page/post/category/ect)

In order for what I’m after to work, I need to have .html at the end of “every” document. I am trying to setup a system where I write updates to a website in wordpress as posts or pages in an offline environment. Then I want to backup the whole site using wget and publish it online as a static site. (without the cms)

Your plugin almost has it working, but there are still a few category pages that I can’t seem to get .html onto the end of.

The problem that some people are having with your plugin is that the plugin, when downloaded from the WordPress codex, doesn’t work. While the plugin downloaded from this site doesn’t work. You might want to look into that.

Chris, you say both dont work? ive just tried the plugin on 2 different installs downloaded from both the codex and here, both working fine for me.

The codex and here are the same files

Wow… great plugin… thank you so much

This will be the a saving grace for many people, good job

Does anyone know if there’s a plugin that makes this work for categories and tags, for example:

http://www.blog.com/category/music.html ?

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. I’m using version 2.7 and it worked.

hi
iam facing one problem with the permalinks for pages.
my current url is http://www.abc.com/page/aboutus and this url i want to change it to

http://www.abc.com/aboutus …so for this the page should be removed ..i have tried with the several plugins .but still its not working ..
any other options plz help me out..

I’m also having the problem of my google XML Sitemap NOT changing to reflect the added .html to my pages. I tried uninstalling the sitemap plugin and deleting the sitemap to force it to be recreated, but I still can’t get it to work. I’m running Wordpress 2.7. and I have all these plugins installed:
All in One SEO Pack
cforms
Custom Admin Branding
Google Analyticator
Google XML Sitemaps
pageMash
TinyMCE Advanced
wp-cache
XML Google Maps

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I much prefer the natual look of the .html extension, versus Wordpress standard /slash/ treatment.

Jane,

Ive just tried the plugin with ALL your listed plugins and it works fine for me?

I have a sitemap.xml without the .html, i then activate my plugin, visit the homepage to check the the .html has been added, then go to xml sitemap settings, click “manual rebuild”, wait a few seconds for it to be rebuilt, then click on sitemap.xml, the sitemap loads in my browser, i then do a ctrl+f5 to refresh thre browser cache and see the new sitemap with the .html, the reverse removes the .html again.

Oh that darn Browser Cache!!! Yes, that was the problem. Thank you so much. Now it’s working properly. Fabulous little plugin! Thanks!

Hi, thanks for this great script. I make all pages with .html (domain.com/parentpage/subpage.html)

but parent pages looking like domain.com/parentpage.html, i want it like domain.com/parentpage/ only for parent pages.

How can i manage it using your scripts,

Thanks for your time and effort to make this great script again.

Great Plugin, I hated those pages without “.html” at the end.
Works great on WP 2.7.1 !!!

dude, u are a genius. thank you very much!!!!

Thanks a lot. You save me lots of trouble. I’m working with client migrating his retail site to Wordpress without comprising his URL’s. I was about to experiment on modrewrite but your solution is better.

I installed this on 2.7 today. I had a wierd problem where the plugin caused the page templates to not be found (I think – because it caused 404’s in the middle of the page, but loaded the archive.php template [i think]).

I unactivated and reactivated the plugin and it started working beautifully.

For anybody who is getting 404’s on all except for the home page you may want to try this. I just put this on a development site but will rollout to the production site now to see if the same thing happens.

Really good and useful plugin, thanks for share.

awsome, i had been modifying various include files to acheive the same results.. but i would have had to modify those same files with every wordpress update.

one issue still exists, that is with split pages

if you have a page ie: somepage.html and you use the tag to split it into mulitple pages, the second page link becomes somepage.html/2

argh

@ Mitra,

You have to set up your database.

Hi there,
i am using this plugin on my site(2.7) since last 6 months and i am quite happy with it as i didn’t face any problem except “Dagon Design Form Mailer v5.41″ but it wasn’t a major issue.

now i want to add a plugin wp-super-cache to my blog, i didn’t give it a try yet on my blog as i was unable to find your .html permalink on their compatible plugin list.
i was just wondering if you would please check your Plugin’s status with wp-super-cache and add it to their compatible plugin list.

regards

Hi, I`m using your plugin – it`s great. But I also use the dagon design sitemap and this causes your plugin to produce a strange result:
when dd-sitemap lists more than 50 links on one site it produces another site and in the original permalink-structure it looks like domain.de/sitemap/2/ but your plugin produces something like domain.de/sitemap.html2/
Any suggestion how to fix this ?

Thank you for sharing this plugin. Its very useful for beginner like me. Finally you save me…

Great tool! Does somebody know how to remove the parent for pages in Worpress? Example: http://www.yoursite.com/PARENT-PAGE/yourpage.html
This drives me nuts. Also I see a lot of guys searching for a solution:
http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=1479
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/216679
Any ideas?

Nice plugin, easy to use, really good job, thanks.

Thank you so much! I have searched high and low for plugins that will do this and even installed two plugins that didn’t work.
@Shaun: thank you so much for your comment, the plugin didn’t work for me at first and I was bummed but then I did what you suggested, with the turning off and on, and it worked!
WP version 2.7.1

Plug-in breakes site,
When activated it only add’s .html
and all the pages break.

Any Idea’s

Why end of my catalog is not show .html , this is my website http://www.forextradingsystems.biz ?

@Nipon Ekanarongpun

Your pages all appear to have .html, you need to set category with permalinks

I added the plugin then uninstalled it because while the pages had the .html appended to them, when I clicked on them in the navbar, I got the following error:

Not Found

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

This happened with all the pages, and they all had content on them. I’ve since deactivated the plugin hoping to find the cause for this.

Somehow or another, by some miracle, I got it to work. For those having trouble, don’t ask me for guidance, because I’m not sure what I did, besides deactivating it and reactivating.

Fantastic plugin solves me half a day of getting it right the manual way. Tweaked it slightly to .htm and it’s working fine on WP 2.7.1 thanks!

I’m using your plugin on a 2.7.1 site and I am running into a problem.

In the Settings > Reading settings page, under the “Front page displays:” option. If I change the “Posts page:” to an existing page, that page returns a 404 error. The page works fine until I set this option.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Graydon

Update to my last comment…

It’s working now. However, the url for my “Posts page” is ending with a trailing slash.

Like this:

http://www.somedomain.com/articles.html/

How about WordPress 2.8 ?? Not working on 2.8 version :(

Tested working fine on 2.8

Admin, is there any way to exclude the pages from using .html
i am unable to use SimplePress forum with this permalink plugin, as it requres the forum link to be
http://www.sitename.com/forum
and currently i am having
http://www.sitename.com/forum.html

help please

Hi!

Whether there is at this plug-in a compatibility with Wordpress MU (2.7.1)?

In advance thanks!

Plugin works great in 2.8..

BUT

I’m having a 404 not found error on my homepage. Any homepage that is set with a .html extension gives a “404″ not found error when you navigate to the site root (ex: mysite.com) (mysite.com/index.html works fine).

Anyone found a way to fix the homepage problem?

Is there a way to simple disable the plugin for one page only so I can set that page as the homepage?

Otherwise, very useful plugin.

thanks

TJ, try “edit page” to bring up the editor page then “update page”, this will refresh the permalinks

Its a nice plugin I must say this.

But it allow only .html extension.

What if I want to specify some other extension like .html , .php , .htm or any other extension. Multiple extension handling will find many use to convert the old sites into world press.

Actually I have few site which are using .htm , .html and .php page and without converting their file structure I want to convert them into word press system .

Flexibility to use any file extension in the page will help a lot indeed to many.

I thing using some arrary funtion and allowing manual speficying the file extension in page will solve this problem in the form of some small & useful plugin

Can you give your expert comments.

Regards,
Ajay

well done, I love this plugins :)

All my page links are working fine, but in WP > Settings > Reading, I set up a Posts page, and have a static home page. The .html works fine for the static home page, but when on the page that I’m using for posts, when I click on the post title, I get a 404 error, with the resulting url being http://mydomain/.html How to fix this?

I do not know how to add permalinks but would like to know. Currently my site is mysite/blog2/ AND I want to mask the directory and name it something else for example my home page is mysite/blog2 and I would like to be just mysite/a new folder name or something that hides the fact this is a blog

Great thanks for plugin!!!

Please I’d like to know how to add the .html to posts in the first place. I actually googled this and landed here. Thanks for the plug-in.

Really good plugin for SEF URL. I think this is one of the most essential plugin for Wordpress. One of my SEO problem solved. Now i am going to work for subdomain plugin.

Any chance this can be modified to allow customization for EACH page?

I want to be able to add .html to the static HTML pages I’m moving to WP, but leave all new pages in WP style.

Hey,

It works great….Trying to find whether there is any plugin for “.php” extension… Let me know if it is there… so that i can use it for my website.

FourPx

Man you have saved my life, I had restructured my site and had 5 pages with PR5’s and PR4’s that without the .html i was not seeing my page rank, I done a 301 redirect and 6 weeks later google still not passed my PR to those pages, now with this plugin I have my PR back on those pages again thank you so much.

Thanks for the great script. afte installing you script in my blog i got the perfect solution.

Thanks again

Hi , I like your pluggin. But I had different requirement.

instead of
http://localhost/wp/about/test-page1.html

I want
http://localhost/wpecommerce/test-page1.html

I mean I need domainname/pagename.html

How can I get this?

thanks

Any way to modify to allow exceptions on certain pages like /blog.html to just be /blog??

Thanks!

It’s still work fine on my wordpress 2.5.
Great compatibility.

It also can be changed to .htm
It’s fit perfectly to my permalink.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this Great plugin.
Works Flawlessly with 2.8.6
I am planning to feature this on my site.
Regards,
Adesh

thanks man, great great work !!!

On my WP 2.8.6 rewriting of page url´s (***.html) works but “Nothing found” is the result content wise.

I would also need to remove the toppage within the url for subpages.

André, open any page in editor, click update page, this refreshes the permalinks

Thanks for this, great plugin. Just installed on 2.8.6 with no problems at all. Is it possible however to remove the parent page in the url so all my pages are http://www.abc.com/page.html instead of child pages being http://www.abc.com/parent/child.html

Worked fine with WP 2.86

Thanks for this.

Awesome plugin, thanks for creating it.

It works great. I just upgraded some old site and instead of redirection I just used this plugin. Changed all .html in to .shtml and it adds .shtml to my all wordpress pages.

Excellent job.

just upgraded to WP 2.91… Plugin doesn’t work now!… ‘fatal error’ when i try to activate it… help please!

Thanx for sharing this plugin.

Great plugin, I’ve been looking for a way to solve this problem for awhile now. Thanks.

Not working. Creates the .html just fine but then every time you click on a link to a page it sends to 404.

Checked the subdomains, appears to be working there, but not at main site. I suspect it’s an .htaccess issue?

hey there, PLEASE HELP ME, if i want convert to HTM extension, how I must do it ? change in the code, the extension HTML to HTM ?, or I must do it from PERMALINKS panel, placing postname.htm ? Please only u can help me, thanks u very much

This sucks. I wish someone serious would take over this plugin and fix problems with it. This is a valuable tool, I can see paying for a pro version that actually works.

“Not working. Creates the .html just fine but then every time you click on a link to a page it sends to 404.”

“Checked the subdomains, appears to be working there, but not at main site. I suspect it’s an .htaccess issue?”

Subdomains? where do subdomains come into Wordpress??
Use the .htaccess generated by Wordpress when applying Permalinks.

“This sucks. I wish someone serious would take over this plugin and fix problems with it. This is a valuable tool, I can see paying for a pro version that actually works.”

“This Sucks” Thanks! its comments like that the put people off sharing.
“Pro Version” What on earth could be added to make it a pro version? this simply adds .html to the page URLs of a Wordpress install running permalinks

Hello I installed on my website wordpress version 2.9.1
After that I downloaded your plugig
but I did not understand why it does not work
practice
I installed from the admin panel of wordpress
then I andaot in permalink
and I wrote custom outline
/% year% /% monthnum% /% day% /% postname%. html

then I published a new article
But when I go on the blog and open the page

ht*tp://blog.mioplog.it/2010/02/03/prova.html

unfortunately the page is not visible

the only plugin that I installed in addition to yours is
All in One SEO Pack

What should I change?

Hello and thanks

the permalink structure you posted is invalid, and the url wont load

Hello,
structure that I inseriot is this:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%.html

this is my page of test
http://blog.wetravel.it/2010/01/29/benvenuti-su-blog-we-travel.html

but nothing to do!
I have to activate something, how can I tell if it works?
Of course I’m also trying to create new articles, but nothing!

Looking at your site, it appears you have not got the correct rewrites in .htaccess

follow the instructions at the bottom of the permalinks settings page, see if that helps

and htt*p://blog.wetravel.it/2010/01/29/benvenuti-su-blog-we-travel.html is not a page, its a post
this is a page h*ttp://blog.wetravel.it/info.html
