I want to change my permalinks to be relative to the page name rather than date time or page I'd, For example page is called products: Therefore should appear as www.cocogreen.co.uk/products I have tried a few custom rules before but they have either not worked or created all but my home pages to turn to 404 errors. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Bevj is correct, but the recommended setting should include the post ID at the end. Google and other searches seem to find this works best. /%postname%/%post_id%

Thank you. Bevj response I have tried before and this cause 404 errors. I will see if the other solution works. Thank you both

Glad to have helped! You'll find that permalink structure will also yield great benefits in search engines and traffic to your site.
