    Need permalink - but just for one posting

    I have set "replace post number for permalinks"
    If I click it, I'm just pointing to the specific post. But there is still the whole thread and I am just located at the place, where the post is starting.

    But I just want the content of the specific post and nothing else.
    How?
    Another configuration within seo?
    Or is there another standard link to point to it?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hello,

    You would not set that option to replace if you want to show the showpost page. However, please note that many members will suggest replacing it as it is considered duplicate content.

    Yeah, I would suggest just linking to the permalink.

    Im starting to use a software which speakes the text of a posting. And for that I need a page with just the text of this posting.
    How to get that then?

    Any ideas? I think because I use vbseo much other sites will tell me to ask here for a solution that also fits the needs of vbseo and seo itself.

    I think it would depend on how the program itself works.

    is it a screen reader for the blind or something similar?


    You could always make a simple custom script similar to show post.php which pulls only the text via a simple query, and is hidden from robots/google/normal users.

    its' for everyone, maybe not the blind but persons who can't read that good ... or want to make anything else while listening.
    I have to markers for the text, one for the start and one for the end, which I can set. And then I have to point on an URL where this text is located.

    And so there are 2 solutions that I see at this time:
    - link to the whole thread (what I can do) and set start/end just for the specific post
    - link just to the specific post

    What do you mean. Solution 1 could also be a good way if I would know how to limit the text with start/end markers to just the one posting...

    For the small program .... I don't have any chance to do this. Would pay for it

    Got it!
    Have got a new php (showtext.php) as a copy of showpost.php.
    What do I have to do to stop duplicate content for search engines?
    Thanks a lot!
