Blog Posts Routing Issue

What is the best way to get my blog posts in the right “form”?
For simplicity, I’m using the built-in “Appleseed Daily” CMS template.

With the current setting — Item Template // Page / Post — all blog posts are displayed like this:

www.mydomain.com/post/?item=read-me  
www.mydomain.com/post/?item=custom-components

But I want my blog posts to appear directly under the blog root, without a “/post/” folder.

So, under Collection // Item Template / Page, I set it to “Blog” — one level above.

This almost works: in my blog overview, hovering over a post title shows the correct URL:

www.mydomain.com/?item=read-me  
www.mydomain.com/?item=custom-components

But when I click the URL, it doesn’t redirect to the blog post — it just stays on the blog overview page.

Is this still a “CMS beta” issue?

For “author” it works as expected:

www.mydomain.com/author/?item=bot

@dan btw the CMS sub-category does not work

Hmmm, you might be able to do some htaccess magic to route things to the correct PHP file, but I think it’d be sensible to go with the following pages:

/ - Homepage with post listing

/post/{slug} - Individual post page
