WordPress displays its pages in a permilink structure of your choosing.

For example
http://www.website.com/about/

Is there a way for me to display it as
http://www.website.com/about.htm

I changed the structure to
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.htm

But that brought out
http://www.website.com/about

Not
http://www.website.com/about.htm
which is what I need

I am pretty sure there will not be a plugin for this. Would I have to do something to the core files, .htaccess, the structure?

Thanks

im pretty sure this isnt possible, as wordpress is built using php, so requires all files to end .php.

Why do you want a page to end .htm anyway?

I'm pretty sure it's possible, though I'm not sure how it's accomplished (we have developers at work to do that sort of thing ;) ).

Here's what a quick search brings up:

You could modify your server to parse .htm files as php - then rename your theme files and any links to them in wordpress... and no doubt a whle host of other files so that the whole system doesn't break. Is there a reason why these files must show as .htm?

@chazzwick

It's for a client who wants to convert a site to wordpress, but retain the same urls and does not want to use redirects.

@TheDoc

Thanks, I'll take a look at this.

Yeh, I'm pretty sure you can do it too. I don't think turning the template files to htm will work though.
