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

<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>.<br />Only the difference is that it appends the immediate <strong>Parent Page Title</strong> in the URI if any parent page is selected.</li>
<li><code>%all_parents_title%</code>: This tag is similar as <code>%title%</code>.<br />Only the difference is that it appends all the <strong>Parents Page Title</strong> 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.

Permalinks Customizer

Does not work

This plugin should be on top and deserves more downloads than the plugins which do not work for WooCommerce Taxonomies/Categories.

Thanks!

The only free plugin which works

Permalinks Customizer helps you to set the different permalink structure for different PostTypes and Taxonomies which are publicly available.

<p><em>Important:</em> It is not recommended you leave debugging enabled when you’re done, the debug information exposes file paths of files as well as PHP arguments passed into functions from the PHP <code>debug_backtrace()</code> which may contain sensitive information.</p>
<p>This is useful for those times when you have a lot of plugins / theme functions interacting that cause an unknown redirect. This tool helps you figure out what is redirecting and where it’s redirecting at in the code.</p>
<p>This plugin outputs information about each <code>wp_redirect()</code> and <code>wp_safe_redirect()</code> call done on the front and in the admin area of a site.</p>
<h4>Usage: Enabling with the setting</h4>
<p>You can enable redirect debugging by going to <code>Settings > Debug wp_redirect()</code> on your site or in your network settings (if network activated). You have the option to enable debugging for frontend requests and/or admin dashboard requests. You also have the ability to only show debugging if the person is logged in or is an admin.</p>
<p>If you encounter problems with this plugin blocking redirects you need for logging in or being able to disable the redirect, simply rename the plugin or define this in your wp-config.php file: <code>define( 'DEBUG_WP_REDIRECT', false );</code></p>
<h4>Usage: Enabling through wp-config.php</h4>
<p>You can define constants in your wp-config.php file to enable redirect handling for frontend / admin dashboard requests. Constants override any options set in the admin settings page.</p>
<ul>
<li>To enable redirect debugging on the frontend of a site: <code>define( 'DEBUG_WP_REDIRECT', true );</code></li>
<li>To enable redirect debugging in the admin dashboard of a site: <code>define( 'DEBUG_WP_REDIRECT_ADMIN', true );</code></li>
<li>To only show redirect debugging to logged-in admins of a site: <code>define( 'DEBUG_WP_REDIRECT_LOGGED_IN_ADMIN', true );</code></li>
<li>To only show redirect debugging to logged-in users of a site: <code>define( 'DEBUG_WP_REDIRECT_LOGGED_IN', true );</code></li>
<li>To only show redirect debugging to logged-in user ID(s) of a site: <code>define( 'DEBUG_WP_REDIRECT_LOGGED_IN_USER_ID', true );</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage: Enabling debugging through PHP in your own code</h4>
<p>You can enable/disable debugging when you have your own code you want to start/stop debugging after a certain point.</p>
<p>These functions will start/stop debugging the redirects whether it’s on a frontend or admin dashboard request.</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable debugging: <code>debug_wp_redirect_enable()</code></li>
<li>Disable debugging: <code>debug_wp_redirect_disable()</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage: As an mu-plugin</h4>
<p>Take the debug-wp-redirect.php file and add it to your mu-plugin folder in a location like: <code>/wp-content/mu-plugins/debug-wp-redirect.php</code></p>
<p>You won’t need any other files. The admin settings page will not show up so you will need to use mu-plugin mode specifically with the constants for wp-config.php as documented above.</p>

Debug wp_redirect()

Worked really good. I had one issue where an object was echoed out like a string. A quick edit fixed that, and not it works perfectly. 5/5 if not for that error (on line 63).



Saved the day!

What the.. Where'd that redirect come from? This plugin helps to uncover redirects as they happen.
