This plugin adds two areas of functionality: Global page, category or tag permalink structures and individual custom permalinks.
Options are added to the Permalinks Settings page allowing you to specify the structure for pages, categories, tags and authors.
By default – if custom permalinks are enabled – pages are accessible in the format <code>/page/</code> or <code>/parent/page/</code>.
You can modify this format in many different ways, for example:
<ul>
<li>Add an extension: <code>/%pagename%.html</code></li>
<li>Add a parent directory name: <code>/content/%pagename%/</code></li>
<li>Prefix the page name: <code>/page-%pagename%/</code></li>
<li>Or using a combination of the above.</li>
</ul>
This same format applies for categories, tags and authors, however the structure tokens differ:
<ul>
<li>Categories: <code>%category%</code> (E.g. <code>/category/%category%.html</code>)</li>
<li>Tags: <code>%post_tag%</code> (E.g. <code>/tag/%post_tag%.html</code>)</li>
<li>Authors: <code>%author%</code> (E.g. <code>/author/%author%.html</code>)</li>
</ul>
Each permalink base can be edited directly via these settings, for example using <code>/people/%author%.html</code> as the Author permalink structure will replace <code>/author/</code> with <code>/people/</code>.
If no prefix is found, permalinks will be prepended with a default (category, tag or author) – with the exception of pages.
Note: Ensure you have included the correct structure tag somewhere in the url.
Additionally, an option is added to the edit screen allow you to specify the permalink for an individual post or page.

Provides advanced permalink options that allow you to:
<ul>
<li>Have multiple permalink structures. Permalinks can be assigned to posts or ranges of posts</li>
<li>301 redirect old permalink structures (many structures are allowed)</li>
<li>Category-specific permalinks. Posts in certain categories can be assigned a permalink structure</li>
<li>No need to have a base to the category permalink!</li>
<li>Change author permalinks</li>
<li>Enable periods in permalinks – perfect for migrating old websites</li>
</ul>
All permalinks are real permalinks and do not result in 301 redirections. This means you can change your permalink structure without 
affecting any existing posts and without losing any page rank. Any attempts to access posts in the wrong permalink structure will be 
automatically redirected to the correct URL.

<h4>Example 1: Migrating a permalink structure</h4>
Say you have an existing site with the default WordPress permalink structure <code>/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/</code> and you decide you want to change it 
to a more keyword-heavy <code>/%category%/%postname%/</code>. If you change the permalink setting then all your old posts will be moved, and you will suffer a major loss 
of page rank (not to mention a lot of 404s). With Advanced Permalinks you can define a specific permalink structure for all your old 
posts and then create a new permalink structure for new ones. All your old posts will carry on living at the same URL as before, but all 
new posts will be created using your new structure.
<h4>Example 2: Category-specific permalinks</h4>
Sometimes you want posts in a certain category to appear elsewhere on your site. For example, your usual permalink structure may result in:
/2007/05/02/my-review
However, you want posts in the ‘review’ category to appear as:
/reviews/my-review
Using Advanced Permalinks this is not a problem.
