Overview
This plugin adds two areas of functionality: Global page, category or tag permalink structures and individual custom permalinks.
Options are added to the Permalinks Settings page allowing you to specify the structure for pages, categories, tags and authors.
By default – if custom permalinks are enabled – pages are accessible in the format /page/ or /parent/page/.
You can modify this format in many different ways, for example:
- Add an extension:
/%pagename%.html - Add a parent directory name:
/content/%pagename%/ - Prefix the page name:
/page-%pagename%/ - Or using a combination of the above.

- Categories:
%category%(E.g./category/%category%.html) - Tags:
%post_tag%(E.g./tag/%post_tag%.h…

Don't worry about its age…
by chill4·10 years ago
I wanted short URLs my colleagues could remember. I have nice URLs like http://mywebsite.com/apartments/great-apartment-berlin.
But my colleagues have numbers for all these apartments. They need links like: http://mywebsite.com/30 in order to forward them easily to customers without looking them up.
This plugin added a field where I was able to add an alias on any page or even portfolio item.
AWESOME. The search for it took me hours, all other “redirect tools” did not work. Thanks a lot!
Adding keyword to pages

Thanks for the plugin, gives you a bit of extra ability to customize your structure.
I wanted one keyword in all my pages url’s for SEO purposes. This plugin was the only way it could be done. Hope it helps in SEO.

It worked Great, until I needed an Email Form Database

Yea, I really liked this Plugin, but I could not get it to work with Fast Secure Contact Form, or Connections cMap.
Otherwise it was very easy to install and use.
Ok!
