Custom Permalink Editor Pro

Custom Permalink Editor Pro changes the URL assigned to selected WordPress content without changing the website's overall permalink structure. It is suited to website owners, content creators, marketers, and developers who need control over individual paths.

Content and paths the editor covers

Use custom paths for posts, pages, categories, tags, landing pages, portfolio items, products, and content moved from another platform. For a post or page, open it in the WordPress administration area, find the Custom Permalink Editor box, enter the desired path, then save or publish. Category and tag permalinks can be edited from the administration panel.

• Choose readable paths for blog posts and marketing-friendly paths for landing pages.
• Set branded paths for portfolio items and product pages.
• Keep a familiar URL structure when migrating content from another platform.

Custom post types in Pro

Existing custom permalinks for custom post types continue to work. Pro also lets you make custom permalinks for these types and edit their existing custom URLs, which works with specialized content such as listings and other registered WordPress content types.

Path processing and developer filters

The plugin sanitises permalinks automatically to keep them URL-safe. It handles special characters and accents, and developers can use filters to adjust accent handling. Other filters can enable PATH_INFO support in the $_SERVER variable, exclude selected permalinks from processing, such as a sitemap URL, or remove the Custom Permalink Editor form for a specific post type. These controls accommodate system URLs, special pages, and content types that should keep their usual editing workflow.

When the extension is deactivated

Deactivation disables custom permalinks and returns posts and pages to their default WordPress URLs. The content remains in place. If an existing URL changes, consider setting up a 301 redirect to help maintain its SEO value.
