How do I set the Canonical URLs in Concrete 5 to appear tidier?


I'm just starting to use C5 as a CMS, and I'm having issues with sorting out the page addresses.

If I add a page to the site, it will be visible at:

www.example.com/index.php/page

However, I find the url extremely messy, and would ideally like it to be

www.example.com/page

I'm not familiar with C5, would anyone be able to give me any pointers to change this?


Solution

  • Okay, After reading documentation, this can be done by enabling "Pretty URLs"

    This can be achieved by:

    Dashboard -> System and Settings -> SEO and Statistics -> Pretty URLs

    You then get a dialogue which has a tickbox, select it and click SAVE.

    C5 should be able to rewrite the .htaccess file. If it is unable to do so, it will give you an error, and you can copy and paste the text generated in the next screen, to add to the file manually.
