Custom control over WordPress permalinks
Permalink Manager Pro extends the native WordPress permalink system with detailed control over URL structures and individual addresses. It is designed for sites that need more flexibility than the standard permalink settings provide, including sites using custom post types, taxonomies, WooCommerce, or multilingual content.
Use the plugin to edit the permalink of each post, page, and custom post type item. You can also define broader URL formats with the Permastructures settings. These formats can be applied automatically when a new post or term is added, or after existing permalinks are regenerated.
Paid features for structured URLs
- Custom taxonomy permalinks: Edit categories, tags, and custom taxonomy terms individually or change their formats in bulk through Permastructures.
- WooCommerce support: Customize URLs for products, product tags, product categories, and attributes. The plugin can also remove segments such as /product/ and /product-category/ from WooCommerce URLs.
- Custom fields in permalinks: Add custom fields to permalink structures without requiring technical experience.
- Extra redirects: Create aliases for posts, pages, or terms, and assign a redirect URL that sends visitors to an external address.
- REST API support: Access and manage custom permalinks through the REST API.
Flexible content and multilingual workflows
Permalink Manager Pro supports all custom post types and taxonomies. You can choose which post types and taxonomies to customize while excluding the rest. This includes content structures managed with ACF, Pods, JetEngine, Toolset Types, and other plugins.
For multilingual sites, integration with WPML or Polylang allows you to translate slugs and customize URL structures separately for each language. The plugin also supports removing parent slugs and organizing URLs hierarchically by adding categories to custom permalinks.
Redirects and connected plugins
When URLs change, Permalink Manager automatically redirects original and duplicate URLs to the correct page through canonical redirects. This helps prevent broken links and supports a consistent visitor and search-engine experience.
The plugin is compatible with popular tools including WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, WPML, and Polylang. Its URL controls are useful for stores, multilingual websites, and WordPress projects built around custom content structures.
Installation and setup
Install Permalink Manager Pro on the WordPress site where custom URL control is required. After installation, review the Permastructures settings, select the post types and taxonomies to manage, and adjust individual permalinks or term structures as needed. For multilingual sites, configure the relevant language integration with WPML or Polylang.
