<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>

<p><strong>WP htaccess Control</strong> should now really be called WP htaccess <em>and Rewrite</em> Control. It provides an interface to customize the htaccess file generated by WordPress but also its permalinks (author, category, archives, pagination and custom taxonomies). Have a look at the screenshot for a clearer idea of the available options.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Customizing the htaccess file generated by WordPress;</li>
<li>Removing any custom taxonomy’s slug base from permalinks;</li>
<li>Removing the category base from permalinks;</li>
<li>Removing the author base from permalinks;</li>
<li>Customizing the Author Permalink Base;</li>
<li>Customizing Paginated Permalinks (translate the “page” word on permalinks to your own language);</li>
<li>Customization (and canonization) of the Search Permalink Base;</li>
<li>Creation of Category, Author, Tag and Custom Taxonomy based archives (ex: <em>“http://your-site.com/category/stories/2010/12”</em>, <em>“http://your-site.com/author/admin/2010/12/page/2”</em> and <em>“http://your-site.com/tag/wordpress/2010/12”</em>), this will also work if you’ve removed the base slug;</li>
<li>Maintenance mode.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Easy to use “Suggested htaccess” rules:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Jim Morgan’s htaccess;</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>POT file is included, translations are welcome.</strong></p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<p>I still haven’t tested this under <strong>WordPress multisite</strong>, issues have however been reported.</p>
<h3>Additional Credit</h3>
<p>Removal of the category base is based on iDope’s <strong>WP No Category Base</strong> but extended so that it works with category archives (ie.: <em>“http://example.com/my-category/2010/12”</em>).</p>
<p>Search redirection is based on Mark Jaquith’s <strong>Nice Search</strong> but extended so that it works with custom search base (ie.: <em>“http://example.com/search-base/search-term”</em>).</p>
<h3>Stable Versions</h3>
<p>For WordPress versions above 3.9 use the plugin version 3.4.</p>
<p>For WordPress versions above 3.4 use the plugin version 3.3.</p>
<p>For WordPress versions prior to 3.4 use the plugin version 2.7.2.1.</p>
