If you login to wordpress dashboard, goto

Settings->Permalink

Change “Common settings” from default, select custom and input

/%postname%/

click “Save Changes“

if you get a message at the bottom of the page regarding your .htaccess file and not having permissions, you may have to create this file yourself.

open a new text file and copy/paste the info at the bottom of the screen, or copy this..

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

save this as “.htacess” {No filename – Just a Dot}
do this by saving the file with a name, then go to that file and hit F2 to rename,
delete the filename just before the {dot} and change any file extention at the end:
ie: “yourfile.txt” should then become “.htaccess”
upload this into the root of your website hosting folder.

ie: public_html
or www
or htmldocs

As long as mod re-write is enabled on your host this will produce the following url
http://yourblog.com/your_post_title_or_product

If you are using a custom WordPress plugin then you may have to check see which permalink structure is in use…

to do this use the..

if ( get_option('permalink_structure') != '' ) { echo 'permalinks enabled' } 

you may have to look into using htaccess to generate your nice urls..
