Permalinks Customizer helps you to set the different permalink structure for different PostTypes and Taxonomies which are publicly available.
You can use the tags which are defined by the WordPress as mentioned here. Also, you can use the tags which are created and defined by this plugin for PostTypes and Taxonomies. You can also find these tags in Permalinks Customizer menu on WordPress Dashboard (if the plugin is installed).
How to set Permalinks for the PostTypes Separately
Let’s assume that you have 7 PostTypes and you like to apply different permalink structure for them. Like:
| PostType | Desired Permalink | Permalink Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Blog | http://www.example.com/blog/2019/01/02/this-is-a-first-post/ | blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ |
| Customers | http://www.example.com/customers/postname/ | customers/%postname%/ |
| Events | http://www.example.com/events/2019-01-02-wordpress-meetup/ | events/%year%-%monthnum%-%day%-%postname%/ |
| Press | http://www.example.com/press/2019/announce-collaboration/ | press/%year%/%postname%/ |
| News | http://www.example.com/news/2019/this-is-a-news/ | news/%year%/%postname%/ |
| Sponsors | http://www.example.com/company/sponsor/yasglobal/ | company/%title%/ |
| Services | http://www.example.com/services/development/wordpress/ | services/%parent_postname%/ |
This plugin allows you to do this very easily. You just need to go on Permalinks Customizer Settings Page. Where text fields are shown with PostType name. You can define your permalinks you want to create for each post type.
If you leave any PostType field empty, Permalinks Customizer will create a permalink for that PostType by using the default permalink settings.

| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|
| %year% | The year of the post, four digits, for example 2019. |

| %category% | A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI. |
| %author% | A sanitized version of the author name. |
Custom Tags for PostTypes
Below mentioned tags are provided by the Permalinks Customizer for PostTypes. These tags can not be used on the Default WordPress Permalink Settings Page.
| Tag Name | Description |
|---|---|
| %title% | Title of the post. let’s say the title is “This Is A Great Post!” so, it becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI. |
| %parent_postname% | This tag is similar as %postname%.Only difference is that it appends Immediate Parent Page Slug if any parent page is selected before publishing. |
| %child-category% | A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). |
| %product_cat% | A sanitized version of the product category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI. This |
| <%ctax_custom_taxonomy%> | A sanitized version of the custom taxonomy where the taxonomy name is custom_taxonomy. Replace the custom_taxonomy with your appropriate created taxonomy name. If you want to provide the default slug which is used when the category/taxonomy doesn’t be selected so, make sure to provide default name/slug which looks like this: |
| <%ctaxparents_custom_taxonomy%> | This tag is similar as <%ctax_custom_taxonomy%>.Only difference is that it appends all the parent slugs of the selected category/term. |
| %author_firstname% | A sanitized version of the author first name. If author first name is not available so, it uses the author’s username. |
| %author_lastname% | A sanitized version of the author last name. If author last name is not available so, it uses the author’s username. |
Note: %title% is similar as %postname% tag but the difference is that %postname% can only be set once by WordPress whereas %title% can be changed by user at multiple times. let’s say the title is “This Is A Great Post!” so, it becomes “this-is-a-great-post” in the URI(At the first time, %postname% and %title% works same) but if you edit and change title let’s say “This Is A WordPress Post!” so, %postname% in the URI remains same “this-is-a-great-post” whereas %title% in the URI becomes “this-is-a-wordpress-post”
