There's a website which has page URL's such as http://www.example.com/states/new-york/

If I go to http://www.example.com/states/ I get a 404 error.

The site also has http://www.example.com/category/some-category-name/ and http://www.example.com/tag/a-tag/

So clearly they haven't modified their permalink category and tag bases. Or customized them. I'm thinking they created custom page templates and pages who's parent is a a page called states to get the permalink /states/new-york/ but then why would going to /states/ throw a 404?

Can a link structure like this be created any other way?

Are you asking if you could do something like this:

/states/%postname%/

In the permalink structure? As to why it's giving back a 404 I'm not sure.

  • I know I can add /states/ to the custom permalink structure but that would apply it site wide. This site only has it on a few URLs which is why I think they setup custom page templates with wp_list_categories to make it function like a category page and /states/ in the URL being the parent page. – Anagio Aug 1 '12 at 20:18
  • It wouldn't necessarily apply it site wide, using this website as an example (a website I've worked on), I used /bravia-blog/%postname%/ and you will notice only on the blog page does it display /bravia-blog/. – Gilipe Aug 2 '12 at 15:57
