Author: The Problem
Recently, I noticed that the URLs on this site had become case sensitive. After some Googling, I found out that this was due to permalinks being enabled from within WordPress. This is a problem because it could potentially result in a lot of 404 (page not found) errors.
The Solution
After further Googling I found a WordPress plugin that detects upper case characters in a URL and converts them to lower case.
Installing The Plugin
This plugin works really well with no problems at all and requires no configuration. To install it, follow the instructions below.
- Follow this link to the Unfocus Blog
- Copy the first piece of code on that page
- Paste the code into a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad
- Save the file with an easily recognisable file name (e.g. Insensitivity.php). Please note that the file extension MUST be php
- Now add the file to a ZIP archive
- Log into WordPress and go to the plugins section
- Upload the plugin to WordPress and activate it
Voila! Your URLs are now case-insesitive. I hope you find this plugin as useful as I do.
