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>
