Why do my Blog post links look different?
Hello UNA Team,
Why do my Blog post links have random letters and numbers in them (e.g. qxv05d) instead of the real title although I have the 'SEO Links' option enabled.
So they look like this:
mysite[dot]com/view-post/qxv05d
Instead of
mysite[dot]com/view-post/my-post-title-here
Aren't they supposed to look like this Andrey's post below?
https://una.io/p/the-best-community-software-what-to-look-for
But the comment view on my site looks great though, like this:
mysite[dot]com/view-post-comments/my-post-title-here
Another question is: why do they look different from the ones here on UNA.io?
On my site they are like this:
/view-post/qxv05d
while here on UNA they look like this:
/p/the-best-community-software-what-to-look-for
/view-post/ and /p/, why is there that difference in the URL?
I am running UNA 13-RC1.
Thanks

Mine is like yours too: page/view-discussion?id=377

Did you set friendly permalinks in Studio - Settings - Permalinks?
-
Yes mine was enabled
-
1 - /view-post/qxv05d
while here on UNA they look like this:
/p/the-best-community-software-what-to-look-for
2 - /view-post/ and /p/, why is there that difference in the URL?
1 - when script can't generate URI from title, then random string is used
2 - it's additional rewrite rules, which can be added in sys_seo_uri_rewrites table, on una.io this table looks like this:
there is no tool for adding records into this table in Studio yet, we're still testing this functionality, and will add it later, for now you can do it directly in the database if you want to test this functionality

Here is a short Guide/Tutorial on how to add those Rewrite Rules in the sys_seo_uri_rewrites table as suggested by @Alex T⚜️:
