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.

<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>

What is a 301 Redirect? 
A redirect is a simple way to re-route traffic coming to a Requested URL to different Destination URL.
A 301 redirect indicates that the page requested has been permanently moved to the Destination URL, and helps pass on the Requested URLs traffic in a search engine friendly manner. Creating a 301 redirect tells search engines that the Requested URL has moved permanently, and that the content can now be found on the Destination URL. An important feature is that search engines will pass along any clout the Requested URL used to have to the Destination URL.
