<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>Reduce permalinks (category or post) that include entire hierarchy of categories to just having the lowest category in the hierarchy.</p>
<p>By default, WordPress replaces the %category% permalink tag in a custom permalink structure with the entire hierarchy of categories for the post’s first matching category. For example, assuming your site has a hierarchical category structure like so:</p>
<pre><code>Applications
  |_ Desktop
  |_ Web
    |_ WordPress
</code></pre>
<p>By default, if you have a permalink structure defined as <code>%category%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%</code>, your post titled “Best Plugins” assigned to the “WordPress” category would have a permalink of:</p>
<pre><code>https://www.example.com/applications/web/wordpress/2008/01/15/best-plugins
</code></pre>
<p>If you activate the Single Category Permalink plugin, this would be the permalink generated for the post (and recognized by the blog):</p>
<pre><code>https://www.example.com/wordpress/2008/01/15/best-plugins
</code></pre>
<p>In order for a category to be used as part of a post’s permalink structure, <code>%category%</code> must be explicitly defined in the Settings -> Permalinks admin page as part of a custom structure, i.e. <code>/%category%/%postname%</code>.</p>
<p>For category links, <code>%category%</code> is implied to follow the value set as the “Category base” (or the default category base if none is specified). So if your category base is ‘category’, the above example would list posts in the ‘WordPress’ category on this category listing page:</p>
<pre><code>https://www.example.com/category/applications/web/wordpress/
</code></pre>
<p>With this plugin activated, that link would become:</p>
<pre><code>https://www.example.com/category/wordpress/
</code></pre>
<p>NOTE: The fully hierarchical category and post permalinks will continue to work. The plugin issues a 302 redirect to browsers and search engines pointing them to the shorter URL.</p>

<h3>Hooks</h3>
<p>The plugin exposes one filter for hooking. Code using this filter should ideally be put into a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin (which is beyond the scope of this readme to explain). Less ideally, you could put them in your active theme’s functions.php file.</p>
<p><strong>c2c_single_category_redirect_status (filter)</strong></p>
<p>The ‘c2c_single_category_redirect_status’ hook allows you to specify an HTTP status code used for the redirect. By default this is 302.</p>
<p>Arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li>$status (integer) : The default HTTP status code</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * Change the redirection HTTP status to a 302.
 *
 * @param  int $code The HTTP status code. By default 301.
 * @return int
 */
function scp_change_redirect_status( $code ) {
    return 302;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_single_category_redirect_status', 'scp_change_redirect_status' );
</code></pre>


Single Category Permalink

Reduce permalinks (category or post) that include entire hierarchy of categories to just having the lowest level category.
