Permalinks Customizer

설명

Permalinks Customizer helps you to set the different permalink structure for different PostTypes and Taxonomies which are publicly available.

You can use the tags which are defined by the WordPress as mentioned here. Also, you can use the tags which are customily defined by this plugin for PostTypes and Taxonomies. You can also find these tags in Permalinks Customizer menu on WordPress Dashboard (if the plugin is installed).

How to set the Permalinks for different PostTypes

Let’s assume that you have 6 PostTypes and you like to apply differnet permalink structure for them. Like:

1. Blog : For this post type you want to create a permalink which looks like this: http://www.example.com/blog/year-month-date-postname/
2. Customers : For this post type you want to create a permalink which looks like this: http://www.example.com/customers/postname/
3. Events : For this post type you want to create a permalink which looks like this: http://www.example.com/events/year-month-date-postname/
4. Press : For this post type you want to create a permalink which looks like this: http://www.example.com/press/category/year/postname/
5. News : For this post type you want to create a permalink which looks like this: http://www.example.com/news/year/postname/
6. Sponsors : For this post type you want to create a permalink which looks like this: http://www.example.com/company/sponsor/post_title/

This plugin allows you to do this very easily. You just need to go on Permalinks Customizer Settings Page. Where text fields are shown with PostType name. You can define your permalinks you want to create for each post type.

If you leave any PostType field empty, Permalinks Customizer will create a permalink for that PostType by using the default permalink settings.

How to Configure Permalinks Customizer

You can configure the plugin by navigating to the Permalinks Customizer menu from the WordPress Dashboard

You can find all the tags which are currently supported by the Permalinks Customizer.

Default Tags for PostTypes

1. %year%: The year of the post, four digits, for example 2019
2. %monthnum%: Month of the year, for example 01

7. %post_id%: The unique ID of the post, for example 123

9. %category%: A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.
10. %author%: A sanitized version of the author name.

Custom Tags for PostTypes

Below mentioned tags are provided by the Permalinks Customizer for PostTypes. These tags can not be used on the Default WordPress Permalink Settings Page.

1. %title%: Title of the post. let’s say the title is “This Is A Great Post!” so, it becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI.
2. %parent_title%: This tag is similar as %title%.
   Only the difference is that it appends the immediate Parent Page Title in the URI if any parent page is selected.
3. %all_parents_title%: This tag is similar as %title%.
   Only the difference is that it appends all the Parents Page Title in the URI if any parent page is selected.
4. %parent_postname%: This tag is similar as %postname%.
   Only difference is that it appends the immediate Parent Page Slug if any parent page is selected.
5. %all_parents_postname%: This tag is similar as %postname%.
   Only the difference is that it appends all the Parents Page Slug in the URI if any parent page is selected.
6. %child-category%: A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel).
7. %product_cat%: A sanitized version of the product category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.

   This tag is specially used in WooCommerce Products.

8. <%ctax_custom_taxonomy%>: A sanitized version of the custom taxonomy where the taxonomy name is custom_taxonomy. Replace the custom_taxonomy with your appropriate created taxonomy name.

   If you want to provide the default slug which is used when the category/taxonomy doesn’t be selected so, make sure to provide default name/slug which looks like this: <%ctax_custom_taxonomy??sales%>. Value which is written between the ?? and %> is used as default slug.

9. <%ctaxparents_custom_taxonomy%>: This tag is similar as <%ctax_custom_taxonomy%>.
   Only the difference is that it appends all the Parents Slug in the URI if any parent Term/Category is selected.
10. %author_firstname%: A sanitized version of the author first name. If author first name is not available then it uses the author’s username.
11. %author_lastname%: A sanitized version of the author last name. If author last name is not available then it uses the author’s username.

Note: %title% is similar as %postname% tag but the difference is that %postname% can only be set once by WordPress whereas %title% can be changed by user at multiple times. let’s say the title is “This Is A Great Post!” so, it becomes “this-is-a-great-post” in the URI(At the first time, %postname% and %title% works same) but if you edit and change title let’s say “This Is A WordPress Post!” so, %postname% in the URI remains same “this-is-a-great-post” whereas %title% in the URI becomes “this-is-a-wordpress-post”
