<p>SEO-friendly Product Category URL by XD is a plugin designed to optimize your WooCommerce product category URLs for SEO. By default, WooCommerce appends category names in product URLs. This plugin removes the category name from the URL if it matches the product name, making the URLs cleaner and more SEO-friendly.</p>
<p>Key Features:<br />
   – Removes category name from product URLs when it matches the product name.<br />
   – Ensures more SEO-friendly and shorter URLs for products.<br />
   – Works seamlessly with WooCommerce and custom product categories.<br />
   – Automatically filters and optimizes category and product URLs.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ol>
<li>After activation, go to <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Permalinks</strong> in the WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li>Make sure the <strong>Category base</strong> is set to your preferred value (e.g., <code>/shop</code> or leave it blank).</li>
<li>The plugin will automatically start filtering and optimizing your product category URLs based on product names.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Before Activation</strong>: By default, WooCommerce product URLs may look like this:</p>
<p>example.com/product-category/category-name/product-name/</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>After Activation</strong>: If the product’s name matches the category name, the category name is removed:</p>
<p>example.com/product-name/</p>
<p>This makes your URLs more concise, cleaner, and SEO-friendly.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Provides advanced permalink options that allow you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have multiple permalink structures.  Permalinks can be assigned to posts or ranges of posts</li>
<li>301 redirect old permalink structures (many structures are allowed)</li>
<li>Category-specific permalinks.  Posts in certain categories can be assigned a permalink structure</li>
<li>No need to have a base to the category permalink!</li>
<li>Change author permalinks</li>
<li>Enable periods in permalinks – perfect for migrating old websites</li>
</ul>
<p>All permalinks are real permalinks and do not result in 301 redirections.  <em>This means you can change your permalink structure without<br />
affecting any existing posts and without losing any page rank.</em>  Any attempts to access posts in the wrong permalink structure will be<br />
automatically redirected to the correct URL.</p>
<p>Advanced Permalinks is available in:<br />
* English<br />
* Bulgarian (thanks to Alexander Dichev)<br />
* Belorussian (thanks to Marcis Gasuns)<br />
* Russian (thanks to Slava Mikheev)<br />
* Uzbekistan (thanks to Alexandra Bolshova)<br />
* Lithuanian (thanks to Nata Strazda at Web Hub)</p>
<h4>Example 1: Migrating a permalink structure</h4>
<p>Say you have an existing site with the default WordPress permalink structure <code>/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/</code> and you decide you want to change it<br />
to a more keyword-heavy <code>/%category%/%postname%/</code>.  If you change the permalink setting then all your old posts will be moved, and you will suffer a major loss<br />
of page rank (not to mention a lot of 404s).  With Advanced Permalinks you can define a specific permalink structure for all your old<br />
posts and then create a new permalink structure for new ones.  All your old posts will carry on living at the same URL as before, but all<br />
new posts will be created using your new structure.</p>
<h4>Example 2: Category-specific permalinks</h4>
<p>Sometimes you want posts in a certain category to appear elsewhere on your site.  For example, your usual permalink structure may result in:</p>
<p>/2007/05/02/my-review</p>
<p>However, you want posts in the ‘review’ category to appear as:</p>
<p>/reviews/my-review</p>
<p>Using Advanced Permalinks this is not a problem.</p>
