Hi there,

Congratulations for this brilliant theme! Everything is as easy as 1-2-3.

There is one problem I am facing though, I see two different permalinks structure for same post:

In the post page i see sitename/category/subcategory/postname
while if i go from homepage big grid, i see sitename/category/subcategory/postname

I need to do a permanent redirect to a few posts and this is causing problem. I can put a redirect to both permalinks, but thats not a permanent solution.

Please help.

Hello,

Thank you for your appreciation. Unfortunately your issues are not related to the theme settings.
Our theme does not control neither the permalinks nor the redirects. Permalinks are set form wordpress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks and 301 redirects can be done either with plugins or from htaccess.
In any case I have checked your site but could not find the permalink structure you mentioned: http://screencast.com/t/PLkXEkHeJ4U
Every time I access one of your posts, there is no sub-category in the permalink.
We have no reports of permalinks issues with our theme so if this error comes up again, please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn. Also reset your permalinks.

Thank you!

Check if this helps you:

This plugin is not a typical 301 redirection plugin this something else.

See what is says:
“When you change the permalink structure then this is a problem for bookmarks of users and also for search engines to link to your posts. This plugin uses the slug of the new url and search for a ID in the database of WordPress. If it finds a post according to the slug, the Plugin will redirect to the correct post and send a header message “moved permanently 301″ to change the url on the index of search engines.”

Thankyou both of you. My issue is now sorted. It was actually due to the primary category issue. Thanks again.
