<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>
<h3>How to Configure Permalinks Customizer</h3>
<p>You can configure the plugin by navigating to the <code>Permalinks Customizer</code> menu from the WordPress Dashboard</p>

<li><code>%post_id%</code>: The unique ID of the post, for example 123</li>
<li><code>%postname%</code>: A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug field on Edit Post/Page panel). So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI.</li>
<li><code>%category%</code>: A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.</li>
<li><code>%author%</code>: A sanitized version of the author name.</li>

<h3>Custom Tags for PostTypes</h3>

<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>%parent_postname%</code>: This tag is similar as <code>%postname%</code>.<br />Only difference is that it appends the immediate <strong>Parent Page Slug</strong> if any parent page is selected.</li>

<p> <em>This <code>tag</code> is specially used in WooCommerce Products.</em></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.

<h3>Automatically create shortlinks for your posts</h3>
<p>PublishPress Shortlinks will automatically generate links for all your posts and pages. This makes it really easy to have shareable links for content. These shortlinks are available from the Posts screen and the Post Edit screen.</p>
<h3>Use your own website domain for shortlinks</h3>
<p>There’s no need to use an external service to build and track your links. With PublishPress Shortlinks, all your custom URLs use your own domain name. To avoid conflicts with any regular URLs on your site, there’s also a folder which is set to “go” by default. This means that your custom URLs will look like this: https://example.com/go/shortlinks</p>
<h3>Customize the slug for each shortlink</h3>
<p>Every post has its own URL. By default, the final part of the URL will be a unique combination of 5 characters, so your shortlink will look like this: https://example.com/go/8vi3n. However, you can customize the slug so it looks like this: https://example.com/go/shortlinks.</p>

PublishPress Shortlinks allows you to share posts before you make them public. If you’ve written a draft of a post, you can share a preview with other people. You can protect these links by combining this with other features, including password protection and automatic expiry of links.
