hello..my question is because in Google results my url show de url of my website and the category, but my permalink structure is mywebsite.com/sample-post
why this happened???
Hi,
Have you recently set the ../%postname%/ permalink structure? If so this may happen because it takes a while for Google and the other search engines to notice pages have moved and adjust their indexes accordingly. It definitely does not happen quickly much less overnight.
Also please note that this permalink structure /%category%/%postname%/ it’s more seo friendly so you probably want to keep it:

Hope this helps!
Thanks
hello, my permalink structure has always been /%postname%/ I’ve never made changes… this happened when I installed newspaper… newspaper has to do with this? thanks.
Also note Google rolled out Panda 4.1 this past month, and started changing some of the ways they show items in SERPS. You can specify how you wish your snippets to appear in Yoast SEO with preview function, but as is well known Google may change that to their own format regardless of what you do.
First step would be to install YOAST SEO< and check the preview function for SERPS then adjust your custom permalink meta data for titles and descriptions.
This theme supports micro format data, such as proper meta data for post title, breadcrumbs, ratings, etc., which your prior theme might not. This theme is setup the *correct* way to feed snippets to Google for SERPS.
But, the YOAST SEO plugin can help *you* dial that in a bit better on a case by case basis, such as home page, about pages, and posts.
You can always view your page *source* to see WHAT is actually in there.
And, of course, you can always switch back to another theme if none of that makes sense.
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@fedor2333 I might add that it may take some time until your permalink will be re-indexed so I suggest to follow Christopher’s solution and give it some time.
Thanks
