Set paths for individual WordPress content

Custom Permalink Editor Pro lets you replace default permalinks with readable custom paths for selected content while leaving the site's overall permalink structure unchanged. Use it for posts, pages, categories, tags, landing pages, portfolio items, products, and content moved from another platform.

Pro includes full editing for custom post types. Existing custom permalinks for those types continue to work, and you can create new custom permalinks or edit existing custom URLs.

Edit a permalink

In the WordPress administration area, open a post or page and find the Custom Permalink Editor box. Enter the preferred path, then save or publish the item. Category and tag permalinks can also be edited from the administration panel.

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

Permalinks are sanitised automatically to keep them URL-safe. Special characters and accents are handled appropriately, and filters let developers adjust accent handling.

Developer filters

Developers can adapt the plugin to server and content requirements. A filter can enable PATH_INFO support in the $_SERVER variable. Other filters can exclude selected permalinks from processing, such as a sitemap URL, or remove the Custom Permalink Editor form for a specific post type.

URL changes and deactivation

When you change an existing URL, consider setting up a 301 redirect to help maintain its SEO value. Deactivating the plugin disables custom permalinks, and posts and pages return to their default WordPress URLs. Their content remains in place.
