Blog Slugs
Morning all!
I'm in the process of porting my site over from Textpattern to Perch. So far, it's been relatively easy but I've come across a strange issue.
Rather than going through the pain & hassle of setting up 300 odd redirects from old URLs to new ones, I thought I'd set up the blog structure to mimic my old Textpattern site and so far, it appears as if it'll do it!
My existing url structure is mrqwest.co.uk/blog/{postID}/{postTitle}.
However, in my settings page, I'm using /blog/{postID}/{postSlug} and my Slug Format is {postTitle}. This works fine however, my post URLs now have a data prepended to them... so as an example, I'm getting the following URL blog/239/2014-02-04-12-devs-of-winter when it should be blog/239/12-devs-of-winter.
How can I adjust my Slug to achieve my desired url structure?
Did you change the slug format before or after importing the posts?
Ahhh, I think it was after I imported. I wasn't sure of the slug prior to importing.
Is there anyway of reverting or rewriting or would I be best to delete all posts and re-import with the new settings?
I would just empty the table and run the import again. The slugs are generated when a post is edited, not when it's displayed.
