<p>This plugin allows you to customize and internationalize the rewrite bases for author archives, search results, comments and page slugs in WordPress. It provides an easy-to-use interface in the Permalinks Settings page to set custom values for these bases.</p>
<p>If you notice that your permalink changes aren’t reflecting on your site, try the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li>Without making any changes, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Customize rewrite bases for author, search, comments and page (pagination) slugs</li>
<li>Automatically uses WordPress’s language-specific terms as defaults, if available</li>
<li>Integrates seamlessly with the WordPress Permalinks Settings page</li>
</ul>
<h3>Motivation</h3>
<p>Internationalized rewrite bases for author, search, comments and page (pagination) in WordPress are not part of the WordPress Core. This is because the <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.5/src/wp-includes/class-wp-rewrite.php" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Rewrite</a> class uses <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/c26d2a30d5fbff5bc8fd613f9862a2bcc9c3e62b/src/wp-includes/class-wp-rewrite.php#L49" rel="nofollow ugc">hardcoded strings</a> which were never translated until 2024. There is an old ticket (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1762" rel="nofollow ugc">#1762</a>) that discusses this issue, including the idea of modifying the <code>WP_Rewrite</code> property with a plugin. This plugin implements that solution. It extends the native Permalinks settings page and adds a section to change the rewrite bases for author, search, comments and page (pagination). By default, these are based on the current language of your site.</p>

<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>

<p>This plugin does not collect any user Information<br />
  If you need any custom modification or any other thing contact with https://kingscrestglobal.com/ and mention Custom Permalink Editor</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Advanced Filters</h3>
<p>For developers who need more control, Custom Permalink Editor provides several filters to customize its behavior.</p>
<h4>Add PATH_INFO in $_SERVER Variable</h4>
<p>Enable PATH_INFO support in the $_SERVER variable. This is useful for certain server configurations.</p>
<p><strong>Usage:</strong></p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'cp_editor_path_info', '__return_true' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Exclude Specific Permalinks</h4>
<p>Prevent specific permalinks from being processed by the plugin. Useful for excluding system files like sitemaps or special pages.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Exclude sitemap.xml from processing</p>
<pre><code>function team_kcg_exclude_permalink( $permalink ) {
  // Check if permalink contains 'sitemap.xml'
  if ( false !== strpos( $permalink, 'sitemap.xml' ) ) {
    return '__true';
  }

  return;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_exclude_permalink', 'team_kcg_exclude_permalink' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Exclude Specific Post Types</h4>
<p>Remove the Custom Permalink Editor form from specific post types. Helpful if you want to disable the feature for certain content types.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Exclude a custom post type called ‘custompost’</p>
<pre><code>function team_kcg_exclude_post_type( $post_type ) {
  // Replace 'custompost' with your actual post type name
  if ( 'custompost' === $post_type ) {
    return '__true';
  }

  return '__false';
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_exclude_post_type', 'team_kcg_exclude_post_type' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Exclude Specific Posts</h4>
<p>Exclude individual posts or pages from showing the Custom Permalink Editor form. You can filter by ID, template, or any post property.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Exclude post with ID 1557</p>
<pre><code>function team_kcg_exclude_posts( $post ) {
  // Exclude specific post by ID
  if ( 1557 === $post->ID ) {
    return true;
  }

  // You can also exclude by other criteria
  // Example: Exclude posts with a specific template
  // if ( get_page_template_slug( $post->ID ) === 'template-landing.php' ) {
  //   return true;
  // }

  return false;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_exclude_posts', 'team_kcg_exclude_posts' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Allow Accented Characters</h4>
<p>By default, the plugin removes accents from permalinks for better URL compatibility. Enable this filter if you need to preserve accented characters.</p>
<p><strong>Usage:</strong></p>
<pre><code>function team_kcg_allow_accents() {
  return true;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_allow_accents', 'team_kcg_allow_accents' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Allow Capital Letters</h4>
<p>By default, permalinks are converted to lowercase. Use this filter to preserve capital letters in your custom URLs.</p>
<p><strong>Usage:</strong></p>
<pre><code>function team_kcg_allow_capitals() {
  return true;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_allow_caps', 'team_kcg_allow_capitals' );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Add these code snippets to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file or use a custom plugin/code snippets plugin.</p>
<h3>How To Use</h3>
<p><strong>Changing a Post or Page Permalink:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Navigate to Posts > All Posts (or Pages > All Pages)</li>
<li>Click on the post/page you want to edit</li>
<li>Scroll down to find the “Custom Permalink Editor” meta box</li>
<li>Enter your desired custom URL in the text field (without the domain)</li>
<li>Click “Update” or “Publish” to save your changes</li>
<li>Visit your post to see the new permalink in action!</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Example:</strong><br />
– Default URL: <code>yoursite.com/2026/01/11/my-blog-post/</code><br />
– Custom URL: <code>yoursite.com/seo-friendly-custom-url/</code></p>
<p><strong>Reverting to Default Permalinks:</strong></p>
<p>Simply deactivate the plugin and all posts will automatically revert to WordPress default permalink structure.</p>
