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

<li><code>%postname%</code>: A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug field on Edit Post/Page panel). So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI.</li>
<li><code>%category%</code>: A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.</li>
<li><code>%author%</code>: A sanitized version of the author name.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Custom Tags for PostTypes</h3>
Below mentioned tags are provided by the <code>Permalinks Customizer</code> for PostTypes. These tags can not be used on the Default <code>WordPress Permalink</code> Settings Page.
<ol>
<li><code>%title%</code>: Title of the post. let’s say the title is “This Is A Great Post!” so, it becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI.</li>
<li><code>%parent_title%</code>: This tag is similar as <code>%title%</code>. Only the difference is that it appends the immediate Parent Page Title in the URI if any parent page is selected.</li>
<li><code>%all_parents_title%</code>: This tag is similar as <code>%title%</code>. Only the difference is that it appends all the Parents Page Title in the URI if any parent page is selected.</li>

<li><code><%ctax_custom_taxonomy%></code>: A sanitized version of the custom taxonomy where the taxonomy name is <code>custom_taxonomy</code>. Replace the <code>custom_taxonomy</code> with your appropriate created taxonomy name.
 If you want to provide the default slug which is used when the category/taxonomy doesn’t be selected so, make sure to provide default name/slug which looks like this: <code><%ctax_custom_taxonomy??sales%></code>. Value which is written between the <code>??</code> and <code>%></code> is used as default slug.</li>
<li><code><%ctaxparents_custom_taxonomy%></code>: This tag is similar as <code><%ctax_custom_taxonomy%></code>. Only the difference is that it appends all the Parents Slug in the URI if any parent Term/Category is selected.</li>
