0 e-berlin.org Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Remove URL masking, but not sure if it works with the free co.nr domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cupcakes Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Actually, the URL ~does~ change--just not in the address bar. http://hoodiboy.byethost15.com/?p=408 -- Those permalinks work just fine. It's how you have your domain name setup that is causing the issue. It works the same way the old .tk "domains" worked. I would register an actual domain name versus skimming the free subdomain pot. You'll have more control over it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 amon91 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 But where can i find this option..?? There should be an option on the control panel, but keep in mind that it will automatically show your real url, not <yourdomain>/.... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Cupcakes Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 You can't find this option. You're using a free subdomain name provider. It's masking your URL and if you "disabled" it, you would not see your co.nr: Free URL Cloaking also known as Free URL Masking - is used to mask a real website address with the Free Domain Name. So, your free domain name will always be in the location bar of your website visitors' web browser. Register your own domain for ~$10 if you have a problem with a masked URL. http://godaddy.com http://namecheap.com http://1and1.com http://name.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 e-berlin.org Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 But where can i find this option..??? Co.NR control panel I guess. Look for Domain Masking / URL Masking option and turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't disable URL masking otherwise your co.nr would never show up in the browser's address bar at all. Your only option if you want the actual website address to show in the browser's address bar is to stop being cheap and put forth ~$10 for a domain name registration. This option will allow you to see a domain as domainname.com/?p=408, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Plarkster Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Like the others have said, you can't fix this. If you want to use a .co.nr domain and have it show in the address bar it will show the same address for every page, in the OPs case it will show http://sishad.co.nr/ no matter what page you are on. The only option you have is to set cloaking to OFF in the website information section of the .co.nr panel. You can still use the .co.nr domain to visit the site, but the actual url will be shown in the address bar so it will change depending on what page you're on, in the OPs case http://hoodiboy.byethost15.com/?page_id=309, http://hoodiboy.byethost15.com/?page_id=98, etc. So you'll either have to live with it, or buy a proper domain. If you really want to stick with a free option, have a look at .CO.CC as they offer free domains that work in the same way as proper domains are are not just a forwarding service. You'd be better off buying a domain though if you can afford it - they're so cheap these days and you'll have full control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
