    How can I setup News Manager to load in a custom subdirectory? Here is the example where News Permalink is set to “thenews”:

    Wordpress Install loads here:
    http://example.com

    News Manager loads here:
    http://example.com/custom/thenews/2013/10/24/

    News Tags load here:
    http://example.com/custom/thenews/tag/

    News Categories load here:
    http://example.com/custom/thenews/category/

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

    @GB3 – what you mention is a permalink structure, not the directories structure.

    If you want to change the news slug, you can do that in permalinks setting: modify it from “news” to “custom/thenews”. Is that what you are trying to achieve?

    @Bartosz – Yes that is what I’m trying to achieve but when slashes are removed by the Permalink field when added in the News Manager settings. The Permalink looks like this:

    http://example.com/customthenews/2013/10/24/

    when entered as “custom/thenews”

    Oh, I see. That’s because of the security check – we’re using sanitize_title() function and we’re not going to change that. However you can do so on your own risk – line 839 includes/settings.php

    Change this:

    $input['news_slug'] = sanitize_title($input['news_slug']);

    to something less sctrict:

    $input['news_slug'] = sanitize_text_field($input['news_slug']);

    That worked perfectly.
    Is that something you would consider changing in a future version?

    No, we’re not going to change that. But as long as you don’t save or reset permalink settings future updates won’t modify that.

    Hello I’d like to do a multilanguage page and use polylang. My Permalinks shows the Countycode after the domain (e.g. http://www.domain.com/en/news/…) I have to rename all pages, who should display the news as ‘news’ in the titelform. It works, but if I click on a news the url change to http://www.domain.com/news/somenews/ and the 404 comes out :( Is there a solution to make it multilingual?

    This is multilingual plugin. We’re using this with Polylang and WPML on multiple sites. Please crate separate topic and describe what you’d like to achieve in detail.
