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.
<h3>How to Configure Permalinks Customizer</h3>

<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>

Hostinger Tools


Hostinger is a complete nightmare! Every time I reload or log in to my site, it shows “Checking your browser before accessing. Just a moment…” — both for visitors and admins. On top of that, I get constant cURL timeout errors. I’ve wasted over an hour just trying to install a single plugin — nothing but endless loading! I don’t even use any security or cache plugins, but Hostinger still blames “WordPress.org server issues.” That’s a joke, because the SAME plugin installs instantly on my local site and on other hosting providers without any problem.



And the so-called “support”? It’s not even real support — just a useless AI bot pretending to be helpful. No way to contact a real human! The AI keeps suggesting garbage fixes like “reinstall WordPress” — that’s like telling someone to reinstall Windows every time they see a blue screen. Absolute nonsense! I begged to talk to a real support agent, but the bot arrogantly replies “No need, I can help you.” Seriously?! My issue has been going on for over a month and NOTHING is fixed.



Hostinger wasted my time, destroyed my patience, and their “AI support” is an insult. Worst hosting company ever — I’m giving them 1 star only because 0 stars isn’t possible.
