Custom Permalinks
Description
Custom Permalinks gives you the power to set unique, custom URLs for any post, page, tag, or category. You can design your site's structure exactly how you envision it, rather than being limited by WordPress's default settings. When you set a custom permalink, the original post URL will be automatically redirected to your new, customized URL.
Key features include individual permalink control, site structure control, and the ability to define custom permalink structures for each public post type using predefined tags. This allows for automatic URL generation upon content creation while still permitting manual edits.
To configure Custom Permalinks, navigate to Settings > Custom Permalinks in your WordPress Dashboard. You can use a variety of dynamic tags to populate the URL, such as %year%, %monthnum%, %post_id%, and more. This flexibility enables you to create a tailored URL structure that meets your specific needs.
For developers, Custom Permalinks offers a range of filters to control its behavior. You can explore all available filters in the GitHub repository. Premium users can reach out for assistance through dedicated support channels.
