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.
Key Features: 
 – Removes category name from product URLs when it matches the product name. 
 – Ensures more SEO-friendly and shorter URLs for products. 
 – Works seamlessly with WooCommerce and custom product categories. 
 – Automatically filters and optimizes category and product URLs.
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ol>
<li>After activation, go to Settings > Permalinks in the WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li>Make sure the Category base 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>
Before Activation: By default, WooCommerce product URLs may look like this:
example.com/product-category/category-name/product-name/
</li>
<li>
After Activation: If the product’s name matches the category name, the category name is removed:
example.com/product-name/
This makes your URLs more concise, cleaner, and SEO-friendly.
</li>
</ul>

This plugin is DEPRECATED! Do NOT use it on new installations. It has been updated for legacy support only and no longer will function for new content creation. If you need custom permalinks beyond what WP supports, consider plugins like permalink-manager.
This plugin is a fork of the Custom-Permalinks plugin. It has some expanded bug patches AND is able to interoperate with the WP-no-category-base plugin.
This plugin will allow you to set permalinks in a more precise way – in short you can include sub-folders. A page could have the permalink http://www.example.com/aFolder/anotherFolder/page.html without having to create the intermediate pages or categories aFolder/anotherFolder/.
Be warned: This plugin is not a replacement for WordPress’s built-in permalink system. Check your WordPress 
administration’s “Permalinks” settings page first, to make sure that this doesn’t already meet your needs.
This plugin is only useful for assigning custom permalinks for individual posts, pages, tags or categories. 
It will not apply whole permalink structures, or automatically apply a category’s custom permalink to the posts 
within that category.

Enhanced Custom Permalinks

Works great on simple templates, but if you change the permalink of a page using a custom query template with a paged parameter, it returns a 404 error on page/2, page/3, etc.



Works for the most part

Set custom permalinks on a per-post, per-tag or per-category basis.
