Permalink Settings for Editorify App Compatibility

Required Permalink Setting

Editorify requires your WordPress site to use the "Post name" permalink structure. The app will not function correctly if your site uses the "Plain" permalink setting.

Why This Setting Is Required

The Editorify app needs predictable, SEO-friendly URLs to properly manage and edit your content. The "Plain" permalink structure (/?p=123) is incompatible with many of Editorify's features and will cause functionality issues.

How to Set Up Your Permalinks Correctly

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard

  2. Go to "Settings" > "Permalinks"

  3. Under "Common Settings," select "Post name"

    • This will display your URLs as yoursite.com/sample-post/

    • Do NOT select "Plain" as it will break Editorify functionality

  4. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page

Verifying Your Settings

After saving your changes, verify that:

The Editorify app connects successfully to your site.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after changing permalinks:

  1. Double-check that "Plain" is not selected

  2. Go back to Settings > Permalinks

  3. Click "Save Changes" again even if no changes were made

  4. Clear your site's cache

  5. Try reconnecting the Editorify app

Important Notes

  • If you're setting up a new WordPress site, configure permalinks before installing Editorify

  • The "Post name" structure is also beneficial for SEO and user experience

Need Help?

If you continue experiencing issues:

  1. Verify your permalink setting is set to "Post name"

  2. Contact Editorify support with temp access to your wordpress.

Remember: Editorify will not work properly with "Plain" permalinks. This setting is mandatory for the app to function as intended.
