Custom Permalinks

ℹ️ In case of found any site breaking issue after upgrading to the latest version then please report the issue on WordPress Forum OR GitHub with complete information to reproduce the issue and move back to the old version. You can download any of the old version from here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/advanced/

Lay out your site the way you want it. Set the URL of any post, page, tag or category to anything you want. Old permalinks will redirect properly to the new address. Custom Permalinks give you ultimate control over your site structure.

⚠️ This plugin is not a replacement for WordPress's built-in permalink system. Check your WordPress administration's "Permalinks" settings page first, to make sure that this doesn't already meet your needs.

This plugin is only useful for assigning custom permalinks for individual posts, pages, tags or categories. It will not apply whole permalink structures or automatically apply a category's custom permalink to the posts within that category.
