MemberHi Shane,
I have tried your little plugin and it seems to be interesting.I appreciate you effort for making such a useful plugin which can be used to convert old sites into wordpress system.
I am quite familiar with world press since long times and keep on trying many themes and plugin for a better living.
Back to your plugin working, right now your plugin accept and work with only one type of extension . Practically there are websites which use different types of files with different extension.For example I have a website which I want to convert into word press . But this website use web pages which are having file extension of .htm , .html, .php.
Looking at this I thingk there has be option to define the type of file extensions and in the page writing page we can manually specify the extension which will taken care of by your plugin.
This will make the plugin more versatile and will find many user.
Regards,
Ajay Jain

Actually, this plugin is headed in that direction, but I am not sure I can pull it off with the way Wordpress handles permalinks. I have several sites similar to what you describe. Right now this plugin rewrites the permalink, but the next version will use filters and such if I can see how they hook into the permalink structure.

MemberIt is possible very much .Right now I use the advance permalink plugin of Urban giraff ( http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/advanced-permalinks/) .
In this plugin we can manually define any type of page extenstion and it works well.
You can ignore the redirection and advance category permalink option of this pluging and can do the reverse engineering of page extension handling option which will give good idea.
I want to avoid using this pluging as it quite big and put the overhead .May be becuase they have bundled lot of features with it .
You can only focus only on page specific extension feature only to make it universal and more felxible .Just make sure size of the plugin is not very big.
Another reference pluging is http://www.introsites.co.uk/33~html-wordpress-permalink-on-pages-plugin.html where also I have put my comments.
You can use php array to define different type of file type and than use it some where for handling different file types for page somewhere

Thanks for the link. I will take a look at how that plugin is working and see if I can use it to complete my plugin. This plugin appears to be quite old as some of the functions it uses have been deprecated. I will look into this more this weekend. Thank you.

MemberTwo things...
1) I cannot find a download link that's working here...
http://wordpress.grandslambert.com/plugins/custom-page-extensions.htmlIt's redirecting to an expired domain.
2) Does this plugin allow for customization for individual pages? Or is it all or nothing?
Ideally, I only want to add .html to pages I'm moving over from static HTML site to WP.Thanks,
- Tim

The download link is working again. It is an all or nothing deal at this point.

I have downloaded your plugin and it seems to work fine. I use the "read more" feature from wordpress on the blog, but it no longer work when your plugin is active. Any ideas on how I can show a shortened version of my posts and still have the pages read as .htm?
Thanks in advance,

Interesting, and thank you for this "bug report". I am not sure why it would prevent the "read more" feature from working but I will look into it more. Just to be sure, the feature works when my plugin is not active but does not work when you activate it, right?

Right now it is an all or nothing type plugin and was created to quickly allow this for a site I developed. I have heard rumors of built in page extension management in future version of Wordpress so I will not likely be adding any features to this plugin.
