.html for all url

.html for all url adds a .html ending to your WordPress permalinks. You choose which content types get it, so you can turn yoursite.com/about-us/ into yoursite.com/about-us.html .

The most common reason to use it is moving an old website to WordPress without breaking its links . Many older sites were built from static HTML files, Dreamweaver or another CMS, and every page URL ended in .html . If you rebuild that site in WordPress and the URLs change, you lose:

• backlinks from other websites
• bookmarks and links shared on social media, in emails and in printed material
• search rankings, while Google works out where every page moved to

With this plugin the WordPress pages can keep exactly the same URLs, so nothing needs to be redirected.

When is this plugin useful?

• Migrating from a static HTML site. Keep /services.html , /contact.html and every other old URL working after the move.
• Migrating from another platform such as Blogger, Joomla or an older site builder that used .html URLs.
• Redesigning a client website where the client wants their existing URLs kept.
• Directory websites built with GeoDirectory, where listing pages can end in .html while category, location and search URLs stay unchanged.
• Community websites built with BuddyPress, where member profiles, groups and activity can end in .html .
• Keeping one URL style across a site that already uses .html for some pages.
