<p>This plugin allows you to select a main category (or taxonomy) for your posts for nicer permalinks and SEO.</p>
<h3>What it does?</h3>
<p>A custom structure such as <strong>/%category%/%postname%/</strong> should be usually chosen for your permalinks. By default, this %category% is selected automatically (using the lowest ID) in the case your post is assigned to more than one category. This plugin will let you pick the category of your choice from the ‘Post Edit’ page. The chosen category is shown in bold on the ‘Posts List’ page and the ‘Post Edit’ page.</p>
<h3>Posts List</h3>
<p>Below the title, you will see the permalink currently set-up for this entry. If a heart is present, it means that the category (or taxonomy) has been picked up.</p>
<h3>Breadcrumbs</h3>
<p>They have their own way of working and can’t be supported automatically by default because they are created by specific themes or plugins. If you encounter issues with breadcrumbs, please say so in the Support Threads and let’s see how we can make it work.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>It works with any theme or plugin that creates post types and taxonomies but it looks like it doesn’t work with the plugin called “Types”. You can use “Custom Post Type UI” instead.</p>
<h3>Please contribute</h3>
<p>It works for standard setups, but the plugin might be modified depending on the case. Don’t hesitate to participate in making this plugin better. The official git for this project is here: https://github.com/jordymeow/wp-category-permalink. Thanks to those contributors:</p>

WP Category Permalink

Allows manual selection of a 'main' category for each post for nicer permalinks and better SEO.

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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/.</p>
<p>Be warned: <em>This plugin is not a replacement for WordPress’s built-in permalink system</em>. Check your WordPress<br />
administration’s “Permalinks” settings page first, to make sure that this doesn’t already meet your needs.</p>
<p>This plugin is only useful for assigning custom permalinks for <em>individual</em> posts, pages, tags or categories.<br />
It will not apply whole permalink structures, or automatically apply a category’s custom permalink to the posts<br />
within that category.</p>


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.
