Wordpress notes from the Sagamore Online gang (email • archivessubscribe & more)!

Page Tagging & Categories

Of the two default content types in Wordpress, Pages (unlike the other, Posts), cannot have Tags or Categories associated with them by default. It is relatively simple to change that with some code or a simple plugin:

Only add Tags (not Categories) to Pages:

Styling

Bother John Lenz to make it 'perty.

Addresses (URLs)

Address beautification

Be sure to: Admin → Settings → Permalinks → Day and name

(to get rid of the ugly "?p=#")

Assigning post IDs

When importing content, it may be easier for sake of redirecting to assign posts/pages the same ID they had on the export site (especially if the export site exposed IDs in its URL (like the PTA site from 2012-2014)).
