How to Create Wordpress Pretty Permalink

By default, permalink in self-hosted wordpress is ugly and more important, not SEO friendly. It looks like http://fatihsyuhud.com/?p=22. The pretty permalink will look like this: http://fatihsyuhud.com/year/month/day/post-name. To transform the ugly one into a pretty permalink you need a little work-out. Fortunately an easy one as follows:

1. Create a notepad blank file. Name it 1.htaccess
2. Upload it into your main directory in the control panel usually in folder ../public_html/(upload file here). Using FTP is a lot better. If you still don’t have FTP, download Filezilla for free here.
3. Rename the file already uploaded into .htaccess. (If using FTP you just need to right click -> rename -> .htacess
4. Change the attribute of the file (again using FTP) by right-click -> File attributes -> make it 666 -> OK.
5. Now, login to your self-hosted wordpress admin.
6. Click Setting -> Permalinks -> Day and Name -> check it.
7. Save changes.
