Irritating permalink issue

So I had a theme created but the developer took the lazy way out and had it rely heavily on a plugin.

The plugin in question is changing my url.

I have set my permalink setting to:

Site.com/%postname%.

The plugin is making my url like this:

Site.com/example/%postname%/

I've tried editing the .ht access as well but it still doesn't work. The /example/ doesn't exist if you visit the directory.

//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /example/(.*) //$1

What am I doing wrong? I like pretty urls lol.

I think you should use the URL where this file will locate into, insert it after Redirect code like


Because, redirect condition must use URL to perform redirect.

Also check your theme for the reason why "example/" comes after your site's name.

Yeah, I know. I was using that as a quick example instead of typing my whole .ht file. I can find mentions of it in the theme but editing or deleting them do not work.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\./$ /example/ [L]

doesnt work either

If it s a premium theme it usually has a support contact form or a forum to contact developers. That example tag also makes me think it s something you should be able to change within the theme settings..

What is the name of the plugin causing the problem?

The problem is they are insisting its a plugin issue and not a theme issue. The developer created a them with some ideas I had, but they made it rely on a plugin for 90% of the functions lol. I disable the plugin and the site is worthless.

I've spent hours upon hours staying up late going over the php but i just cant pinpoint the issue In the long run, I guess its not too big of a deal. Just an eye sore.

You did try with the correct code, I didn't figure out your problem initially.
If possible let me know the plugin name? I will check it out and revert back.
