<p>WordPress 3.0 comes with a new filter that lets us customize what is used for each permalink structure tag, other than WordPress default.</p>
<p>One of these permalink structure tags is <code>%category%</code>. By default, WordPress always use the category with lowest ID, making <code>%category%</code> impractical for SEO optimization.</p>
<p><strong>Hikari Category Permalink</strong> allows post authors to choose among each post’s categories, which of them is used in that post permalink, giving much more flexibility and power to permalinks.</p>
<p>This plugin is a fork of <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/scategory-permalink/" rel="ugc">Dmytro’s sCategory Permalink</a>. It has all original features and is compatible with original options, while being more stable and simple, and also fixes 2 recurring bugs.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>You can choose for each post separately, which category is used in its <code>%category%</code> permalink.</li>
<li>Posts without a category set to be used in permalink behave as WordPress default, (which currently is) the one with lowest ID is used</li>
<li>Posts with a category set have it used</li>
<li>In post edit page, where you set the post’s categories, there’s a new feature allowing you to choose which category will be used in permalink</li>
<li>No rewrite rules tweaks are done, making the plugin much simpler and bug free</li>
<li>If you already used sCategory Permalink, you can safely deactivate it and replace by <strong>Hikari Category Permalink</strong>, all your category permalinks will be used</li>
</ul>
