Questions and Examples of Use

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why the main site gives me the 404 or Not Found error message or I cannot see the “Submitt a link”?

This usually occurs only when using a custom permalink structure (like /%category%/%postname%/).
This is a .htaccess 404 error message and you should update your .htaccess file in the WP root directory.

Normally you should not edit the htaccess, the Permalink link will be detect by plugin automatically.
The htaccess is a way to add the category name to the url or display the post title in the blog url.

An example for htaccess code to redirect to odlinks
You need an .htaccess file. The file will be create/modify by wordpress via the Permalink/mod-rewrite option.

Please edit the .htaccess file in the root folder of your WordPress.
You use the default .htaccess file and modify the file as follow:
The redirect should look something like this

#RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule !^(classified|odlinks)/ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule odlinks/([^/\(\)]*)/?([^/\(\)]*)/?([^/\(\)]*)/? /index.php?pagename=odlinks [QSA,L,R,NS]

    I found two plugins that seem that ODLinks seems incompatible with
    WP Geo
    Simple Facebook Connect
    Seems like I had to remove the Meta from other Plugins to get it to work.
    So it seems a bit incompatible with plugins that adds code to meta.

    Here’s the issue with another plugin on wordpress forum

    installed the plugin, and saved the settings, cache directories are writable, when I add a category, message comes up to say it was added succesfully, but it has not been added and still does not exist, do you have any ideas?

    many thanks

    @atomjani:
    Does your answer to my question refer?

    Then your answer is exactly what I would like. Only as I reach that? My Permalink structure already is domain/%postname%/ What do I have to change?

    Is it somehow possible, which a Link can be registered in different categories? I would like to make it in such a way with me, which a Link in up to three categories can be listed
