Custom Permalink Editor Pro lets site owners, content creators, marketers, and developers set custom paths for individual WordPress content. Each path applies to its item, leaving the site's overall permalink structure unchanged.

Use it for posts, pages, categories, tags, landing pages, portfolio entries, products, and content moved from another platform. The Pro edition adds full editing for custom post types, including the ability to create new custom permalinks and edit existing custom URLs. Existing custom permalinks for custom post types continue to work.

Set a custom path

In the WordPress administration area, open a post or page and find the Custom Permalink Editor box. Enter the preferred path, then save or publish the item. Category and tag permalinks can also be edited from the administration panel.

• Choose readable paths for blog posts.
• Set marketing-friendly paths for landing pages.
• Use branded paths for portfolio items and product pages.
• Keep a familiar URL structure when moving content from another platform.

Path handling and developer controls

The plugin sanitises permalinks automatically to keep them URL-safe. It handles special characters and accents, and a filter lets developers adjust accent handling when needed.

Other filters can enable PATH_INFO support in the $_SERVER variable, exclude selected permalinks from processing, such as a sitemap URL, or remove the Custom Permalink Editor form from a specific post type. These controls help sites retain special URL handling or the normal editing process for selected content types.

Changing or disabling custom URLs

If you change an existing URL, consider setting up a 301 redirect to help maintain its SEO value. Deactivating the extension disables custom permalinks and returns posts and pages to their default WordPress URLs. The content remains in place; only the URLs used to access it change.
