This plugin adds an “External Link” section to the post editor.
If you’re publishing posts that are primarily used to link to external news articles or resources, the plugin overrides the post’s permalink and redirects users to the specified external URL when they click the post.
The “External Link” section has two options:
<ol>
<li>External link (This URL will replace the return value of <code>the_permalink</code>)</li>
<li>Open in new window (checkbox)</li>
</ol>
By setting an external link, the link in your widget, post archive and so on, will refer to the new URL you saved.
<h4>Settings</h4>
This plugin adds a new section to Writing Settings with 3 different options.
<ol>
<li>Post Types </li>
</ol>
Lets you select which post types should support external links.
<ol>
<li>Attributes </li>
</ol>
When set to Automatic, the target and rel attributes will be automatically added to anchor elements linking to the new URL, using jQuery.
When set to Manual, developers must manually add anchor elements. You can either use <code>tsep_anchor_attributes()</code> to generate the href, rel and target attributes, or use <code>the_permalink()</code> to populate the href attribute and <code>tsep_target_attributes()</code> to add the target and rel attributes separately.
Easy method:
<pre><a class="some-class">Click here!</a></pre>
With separate attributes:
<pre><a href="" class="some-class">Click here!</a></pre>
<ol>
<li>Single Page Content </li>
</ol>
This option allows you to manually write an anchor element that will be added to the post’s content. Use %link% for the external link, and %rel% for the target and rel attributes.
<pre><a href="%link%" rel="nofollow ugc">Click here!</a></pre>
This will produce the following output:
<pre><a href="https://example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Click here!</a></pre>

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.
