I'm new to WordPress and am building a site on a temporary server. But, I notice the URLs for pages look something like this:
/index.php/general-services/ . Is there a way for pages just to show as general-services? Or, general-services.html?

Where are you seeing URLs like that?  WP doesn't normally form URLs that way.  You may want to check your permalinks settings (Settings->Permalinks in the admin) to see what your current configuration is.

Yes. The Permalinks setting was set to custom and formatted the way I posted. I changed to post name, which was set up without the index.php in the url. Thanks, again.

I can't seem to change the permalink to show .html after the postname. This web site will replace an old one and I always like new page names to match old ones , which in this case end in .html.

From a little bit of poking around on Google, it appears that adding the .html to your permalinks settings will only work for posts, not for pages.  But there is a (very) old plugin that may still work to add it to pages as well: https://wordpress.org/plugins/html-on-pages/

Thanks. I might be able to achieve same via htaccess.  I'll check out the plugin.

If you look at the code of the plugin ("svn" link under the "developers" tab), you can see that it's a very small amount of code.  You could probably just copy/paste it into the theme's functions.php if you don't want it running as a standalone plugin.

Got it, thanks.
