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]

    Are there going to be any updates to this plugin? Is there a pro-version (of course I understand there would be a charge for upgrading)?
