In WordPress, a page’s parent or the categories of a post typically influence the final permalink/slug URI.
When editing a post or page in the WordPress admin backend and changing any of these, the preceeding URI parts before the slug below the title input don’t get automatically updated though – pretty confusing.
This simple extension automatically reloads/refreshes the permalink preview URIs when having selected different page parents or post categories.

Update Permalink/Slug Previews in Admin

Automatically reloads permalink/slug previews in admin edit view when changing a page's parent or the categories of a post.

Sometimes you don’t want to show parent directories in permalink because they are not really necessary or because you know that in the future your child directory will change it’s parent.
For example: 
+Work in progress 
–Site 1 
–Site 2 
+Work Finished 
–Site 3
In this case Site 3 originally have been part of “Work in progress”, and on job done it has been moved under “Work Finished”.
So if you install this plugin your link will be transformed in this way:
domain.com/parent_category/child_directory/post_name => domain.com/child_directory/post_name 
domain.com/category/parent_category => domain.com/parent_category 
domain.com/category/parent_category/child_directory => domain.com/parent_category/child_directory

Remove Parents

Remove Parents is a tiny plugin which remove "category" and parent categories from permalink.
