How to use permalink provided by WordPress



No need to repeat advantages of mod_rewrite, just remind that it is much webserver setting limited

Some hosting impose strict restriction on mod_rewrite related settings and you are unfortunately unable to use mod_rewrite and original link mode is the only option for you: http:/ /myblog.com/modules/wordpress/?p=123

Complete mod_rewrite is not available with some hosting or .htaccess is disabled, in this case you can only use the pseudo-permalink setting in Custom: http:/ /myblog.com/modules/wordpress/index.php/123

Even if you are lucky enough to be able to use complete mod_rewrite, make sure to make .htaccess read only once the file is modified, or write the file manually

The last point: if you are likely to switch from one hosting to another frequently, I would suggest to use the original permalink mode (http:/ /myblog.com/modules/wordpress/?p=123) considering you might lose the chance to use same mode for permalink by which you could lose all your google-indexed page links, even your PageRank!


How to convert standalone WordPress to XPress or rollback XPress to standalone WordPress?


XPress uses the same tables as WordPress, it is very straightforward to switch between standalone WordPress and XPress. The only thing to be careful is table names, make sure to be compliant with XOOPS table prefix.

Even if you stay with XPress, you have the choice to use XOOPS classical layout or WordPress layout: set proper preference in module preferences
