Advanced plugin that allows to set-up custom permalinks (bulk editors included),
slugs and permastructures (WooCommerce compatible).

== Description ==

Permalink Manager is a most advanced and highly rated Wordpress permalink plugin
that helps Wordpress users to control the URL addresses of all posts, pages, custom
post type elements (taxonomies are supported in Pro version). To avoid 404 or
duplicated content errors after the new custom permalink is defined, the visitors
trying to access the old permalink will be automatically redirected to the new
custom URL.

The plugin supports all custom post types & custom taxonomies and popular 3rd party
plugins including WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, WPML, and Polylang. To improve SEO
performance even more, the plugin settings provide a possibility to disable the
canonical redirect (used natively by Wordpress) and control the trailing slashes
settings.

= All features =

* **Edit full permalinks**<br/>A completely custom permalink can be set for each
post, page and public custom post type individually *(categories, tags & custom
taxonomies terms permalinks can be edited in Permalink Manager Pro)*
* **Custom post types support**<br/>It is also possible to exclude specific post
types & taxonomies to stop Permalink Manager from filtering their permalinks.
* **Custom permastructures**<br/>The plugin allows to specify how the custom
permalinks should be formatted by default (when the new post/term is added or after
the permalinks are regenerated)
* **Translate permalinks**<br/>Permalink Manager allows to translate and set
different permalink format/structure per language when WPML or Polylang plugin is
enabled.
* **Auto-redirect**<br/>Old (native) permalinks are redirected to new (custom)
permalinks (in 301 or 302 mode) to prevent 404 error (SEO friendly).
* **Canonical redirects**<br/>Possibility to disable native canonical redirects.
* **Bulk editors**<br/>"Regenerate/Reset" + "Find and replace" tools that allow to
bulk/mass change the permalinks (or native slugs).
* **Trailing slashes settings**<br/>They can be forced or removed from all
permalinks.

http://shop.com/BLACKFRIDAY) that will automatically apply the discount to the
cart.
* **Custom fields**<br/>Custom fields can be used inside permalinks (compatible
with Advanced Custom Fields).
* **Extra internal redirects**<br/>Multiple URLs can lead to a single post/term
(they could be defined individually for each element).
* **External URL redirect**<br/>Posts/terms can redirect the visitors to external
websites (the URLs could be defined individually for each element).
* **"Stop-words"**<br/>User-defined words can be automatically removed from default
permalinks.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Q. Can I delete/disable Permalink Manager after the permalinks are updated? =


A. Yes, if you used Permalink Manager only to regenerate the slugs (native post
names). Please note that if you use custom permalinks (that differ from the native
ones), they will no longer be used after the plugin is disabled.

It is because Permalink Manager overwrites one of the core Wordpress


functionalities to bypass the rewrite rules ("regular expressions" to detect the
posts/pages/taxonomies/etc. and another parameters from the URL) by using the array
of custom permalinks (you can check them in "Debug" tab) that are used only by my
plugin.

= Q. Can I use Permalink Manager to change the terms permalinks (eg. post or
product categories)?
A. This feature is available only in Permalink Manager Pro.
= Q. Does this plugin support Buddypress?
A. Currently there is no 100% guarantee that Permalink Manager will work correctly
with Buddypress.
