<p>Archive Disabler allows you to disable WordPress’ default archive pages.  It does this by either redirecting those archive pages or causing them to throw a 404 error depending on your settings.</p>
<p>You may want to do this if, for instance, you didn’t want to expose post format archives to the world.  Instead you could redirect them to the home page of your site.</p>

Archive disabler allows you to "turn off" some of WordPress' built in archive pages.

<p><strong>Permalinks Customizer</strong> helps you to set the different permalink structure for different PostTypes and Taxonomies which are publicly available.</p>

Also, you can use the tags which are customily defined by this plugin for <a href="https://github.com/yasglobal/permalinks-customizer#custom-tags-for-posttypes" rel="nofollow ugc">PostTypes</a> and <a href="https://github.com/yasglobal/permalinks-customizer#custom-tags-for-taxonomies" rel="nofollow ugc">Taxonomies</a>. You can also find these tags in Permalinks Customizer menu on WordPress Dashboard (if the plugin is installed).</p>
<h3>How to set the Permalinks for different PostTypes</h3>
<p>Let’s assume that you have 6 <strong>PostTypes</strong> and you like to apply differnet <strong>permalink</strong> structure for them. Like:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Blog :</strong> For this post type you want to create a <strong>permalink</strong> which looks like this: http://www.example.com/blog/year-month-date-postname/</li>
<li><strong>Customers :</strong> For this post type you want to create a <strong>permalink</strong> which looks like this: http://www.example.com/customers/postname/</li>
<li><strong>Events :</strong> For this post type you want to create a <strong>permalink</strong> which looks like this: http://www.example.com/events/year-month-date-postname/</li>
<li><strong>Press :</strong> For this post type you want to create a <strong>permalink</strong> which looks like this: http://www.example.com/press/category/year/postname/</li>
<li><strong>News :</strong> For this post type you want to create a <strong>permalink</strong> which looks like this: http://www.example.com/news/year/postname/</li>
<li><strong>Sponsors :</strong> For this post type you want to create a <strong>permalink</strong> which looks like this: http://www.example.com/company/sponsor/post_title/</li>
</ol>
<p>This plugin allows you to do this very easily. You just need to go on <strong>Permalinks Customizer</strong> Settings Page. Where text fields are shown with PostType name. You can define your permalinks you want to create for each post type.</p>
<p>If you leave any PostType field empty, <strong>Permalinks Customizer</strong> will create a permalink for that PostType by using the default <strong>permalink</strong> settings.</p>
