News Slug

[fabiandraxl]

Hej @arminunruh

I have just activated the news feature with the following settings on my page.

If I now set up the page (news) on which I want to insert the news element and the domain as follows: mydomain.com/news, unfortunately nothing is displayed.

As soon as I change the domain to something else, the page with the news element works.

But I really want to use the mydomain.com/news. What can I do?
And I cant change my permalink Structure, because the Site is allready live ...

Thanks,
Fabi

can u just go to settings -> permalinks

and then click "save changes" at the bottom

that should rewrite the permalink rules
watch out for any message on that page that may say that your htaccess file is not writeable

@arminunruh

Hej, I did that but it's still not visible. :/
Any other solution?

Thanks, Fabi

@arminunruh Any other idea, what is causing the problem?

[arminunruh]

can you send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com?

also send your ftp login

hey there!

so i just read through the issue again

this works as expected

all the slug is saying is the news posts will be reachable when prepended with the /news/ slug

so for example one of your news is:
https://rsc-inzing.com/news/finaleinzug-fixiert-2/

and it works

if you were to change the slug to "abc", you'd see the news here:
https://rsc-inzing.com/abc/finaleinzug-fixiert-2/

this setting does not at all create a page with this url:
https://rsc-inzing.com/news/

you need to create a page like that by yourself in "pages" and then insert a news overview element: +more -> +news

Hej Armin, thank you for getting into this again.

I can follow all your input, but I already created a News element on my page which is not showing up: https://rsc-inzing.com/news.

Here a screenshot for proof:

If you duplicate the page to another domain like: https://rsc-inzing.com/news-duplicate/ it works perfectly fine.

How to fix that? Thanks

so yea u cant create a page that has the permalink /news/ when your news slug in lay options is also set to /news/

that wont work you need to create a page with a different permalink

Okay, habe bis jetzt nicht gewusst, dass ich das einfach in den Layoptions ändern kann. Habe den Name für das Newsfeature geändert …

Thank you.
