I want to customize the structure of my wordpress permalinks slightly beyond what's offered by default. I want to add #/ before the /%postname%/, so that instead of current permalinks:
http://www.mybusinesssite.com/about/thecompany
I get this:
http://www.mybusinesssite.com/#/about/thecompany
EDIT: Here's what's not working: The actual permalink for the page is http://www. mybusinesssite.com/about/thecompany – but when I load that page into the main index page, the url display changes to http://www. mybusinesssite.com/#/about/thecompany. The page displays just fine, but it can't be properly bookmarked, because accessing http://www. mybusinesssite.com/#/about/thecompany via bookmark leads the user to the initial state of the page, rather than the page with the content loaded from /about/thecompany. What I want to do is have the actual page permalink as #/about/thecompany. Then I will split that url in segments with JavaScript, remove the initial #/ segment, and add everything else after the JavaScript hash. As a result, I will have #/about/thecompany in he url, which will be the actual url of that page.
How can this be done?
As stated in the comments above: the URL part after # is not passed to the server - as in, only the user browser knows about it. If the user bookmarks: a link with the hash char - when acessing that, the only parth that will leave the users' device is http://www.example.com/ - so, even if you acomplish customizing your wordpress URL's as you want, it would no work (it could work for any other character, but for #)
To resolve your problem there you will need a solution in javascript on your portal root - it can even turn to be a simple one. (reading the original URL, which javascript being on the client side, include the chars past the #, and loading it from the server, removing the #)
