Overhaul WordPress Permalinks and Improve SEO Performance
Having a well-designed permalink structure will make it simpler for users to browse your website, hence boosting your SEO. Permalink Manager is the ultimate solution for editing your URLs without modifying any core files.
Get Permalink Manager ProThe most versatile WordPress plugin for editing permalinks
The inability to customize WordPress inbuilt permalinks is one of its biggest drawbacks. With only a few basic options, you do not have enough control over how your website's URLs are structured.
Permalink Manager extends native settings with more customization options. Discover what makes it the most powerful and user-friendly permalink plugin available.
URI Editor Adjust each individual URL as you see fit
If you need to take full control of your WordPress URLs and customize the structure, add custom slugs, or remove unwanted characters from URL strings, then the URI Editor is a great tool for you. It can be used not only for posts and pages but also for categories, custom post types, and taxonomies.
What sets it apart from the built-in permalink system? Unlike the existing feature that only allows you to edit the final portion of URLs (i.e. slugs), this plugin gives you control over editing the entire URL.
The plugin supports both built-in and user-defined custom post types & taxonomies, as well as WooCommerce products and categories. With this powerful tool at your disposal, you can easily fine-tune each of your URLs with just a few clicks!
Permastructures Rearrange your permalink structure with a few clicks
Permalink Manager is a useful tool for every WordPress user that wants to optimize their SEO strategy. It is intended to make changing page links quick and simple, allowing you to focus on other areas of your website. The plugin provides you with a Permastructure editor, which lets you make bulk changes to your custom permalinks and choose a default format for them.
Additionally, the plugin comes with a Bulk URI Editor that allows you to edit certain URLs that may need to vary from the typical structure established by the Permastructures. This offers you even more control over your URLs, allowing you to guarantee that they are SEO-friendly.
Redirects Change URLs without losing visitors and traffic
Any change in URL structure can have a significant impact on your website's search engine ranking and user experience. This is due to the fact that initially search engines and some visitors may still be using the old URL, resulting in broken links and a drop in traffic. The Permalink Manager plugin addresses this issue by integrating a canonical redirect feature.
By automatically redirecting old links to the new permalink structure, the Permalink Manager plugin keeps your website's links up to date. This guarantees that broken links have no effect on your website's search engine results.
Furthermore, the plugin allows you to create extra redirect URLs if necessary. This functionality may be used to define alias URLs that lead to a new place, making it easier for visitors to locate the information they seek.
WooCommerce support Improve your WooCommerce URL structure
A well-designed URL structure is the foundation of a successful e-commerce site's SEO strategy. The success of your online store depends on this, since it will help customers locate what they are looking for and browse your site with ease.
Unfortunately, WooCommerce does not provide many choices for modifying the URLs of your WooCommerce store. This may be a huge setback for businesses wanting to enhance their SEO and customer experience. This is where Permalink Manager comes into play. You may use it to design the URLs for your WooCommerce store in exactly the manner in which you want them to appear.
This means you will have complete control over the structure of your URLs, which may make a significant impact in terms of SEO and UX
Custom fields support Only plugin that supports custom fields in URLs
This is the only plugin that gives you the ability to add custom fields directly to your WordPress URLs, without needing any coding experience! The procedure is intended to be easy and uncomplicated, and the documentation includes step-by-step instructions to get you started.
Permalink Manager makes it easy to use the built-in custom fields as well as the ones controlled by popular third-party plugins, including ACF, Pods, JetEngine and Toolset Types. This means you can create permalinks with any of these custom fields. No matter whatever plugin you are using, you can quickly add custom fields to your URLs.
WPML/Polylang support The easiest way to translate your WordPress permalinks
This plugin has been designed to work with two most popular language plugins for WP: WPML and Polylang. It allows you to create customized URLs based on language of posts, pages, or terms so that your website is accessible for people all around the world.
This means that the URL for content may vary depending on its language. In other words, you can create a unique link format for each language available on your website!
Whether you have a multilingual website or just want people from different countries to understand your content better, our tool will serve the purpose perfectly! By using it, you will be able to generate custom URL structures which will help both visitors and search engines comprehend your contect more effectively.

Unlock the Power of Permalinks
Permalink Manager Pro is the ultimate WordPress tool for managing your URLs. With regular updates and enhancements since 2016, this highly rated plugin is a reliable choice for optimizing your website's URLs.
Explore the various license options and select the one that works best for you. Choose from an affordable license with one year support & plugin updates, or a more cost-effective option with lifetime plugin updates.
Permalink Manager Lite and Pro are both developed by the same person. One of the most noticeable differences is that the Pro edition allows users to modify custom permalinks for categories and custom taxonomies, such as product categories. The Lite version lacks this functionality.
Furthermore, the Pro version adds the ability for users to include custom fields within the generated custom permalinks. This may be a very useful tool for designing more customized and SEO-friendly URLs. Furthermore, the Pro version allows users to set up extra redirects that function similarly to aliases, redirecting visitors to the canonical URL.
Another advantage of acquiring a license for the Pro version is that if you run into any problems or have any queries regarding the plugin, you can request dedicated customer support.
While there is no trial version of Permalink Manager Pro available, you may test the free Permalink Manager Lite before choosing whether to upgrade to the Pro version for more features.
The process of upgrading from the Lite to the Pro version is quick, painless, and straightforward. All of your custom permalinks, settings, and other data will remain unchanged after upgrading to the Pro version because they are stored in the same way in both the Lite and Pro versions.
No, Permalink Manager, unlike other premium WordPress plugins, is not subscription-based. There are no hidden costs involved with purchasing a license key. We offer a flexible licensing option that allows you to choose between one-year and lifetime access to plugin updates.
All lifetime variants provide access to all plugin updates for life, with no extra payment or action necessary. In the case of the one-year license, the plugin will continue to function even after the license expires.
Since the license is not renewed automatically, you will not be charged again. If you do not have the lifetime variant and want to continue getting plugin updates, you can pay to extend your license key. However, it is entirely up to you to decide whether or not you would like to renew it. To prolong plugin update access for another year, purchase a license renewal before or after the current license expires.
You can use the same license key on two separate domains, e.g. for your development and production websites. Furthermore, subdomains and domain names that contain the words "dev", "staging" and "test" are not taken into account when considering the two-domain limit. This is because the update server's license validation system has been designed to ignore these types of domain names.
If you have more than two domains, you can use the same license key on all of them for a transitional period of up to 48 hours. During this time, you can switch the domains associated with the license key as often as needed (for example, when moving from a staging site to a production domain).
There is no need to re-activate or deactivate the domain because the old domain will automatically disappear from logs. The update server request logs are carefully inspected and analyzed in order to identify any potential abuse. Should any be found, your license key may be restricted, which will prevent you from using the automatic update feature of the plugin from within your WordPress admin dashboard.
If you have a WordPress website that uses a multisite configuration and has multiple domain names, it is still considered one environment. This is true, for example, when you use separate domain addresses for each language version. Therefore, if you have such a website, you just need to buy the "single domain" variant, and the "multi domain" license is not required.
When the Permalink Manager was first designed, it was supposed to be used for a typical WordPress website, which usually has less than a few thousand subpages. As a result, all custom permalinks are saved in a single row in the database in order to avoid slowing down the pageload with multiple SQL queries to the database. This is the most effective approach for small and medium-sized websites, without affecting site speed.
While this data structure works for the vast majority of WordPress sites, it may not be optimal if you want to use the plugin to rewrite tens of thousands of permalinks. What works well for a smaller website may not scale well for a megasite. When the number of addresses on your site exceeds tens of thousands, the custom permalinks array may become quite huge, and any operations on it can have an effect on pageload time.
To summarize, the plugin is suitable for small and medium-sized websites. It will not slow down your pageload time or affect its usability in any way. However, if you want to use it on a much bigger website with thousands of permalinks (more than 60.000), please consider excluding content types that do not require customized permalink format in order to lower the custom permalinks array. For further details on the plugin's performance, please visit this post.
Please keep in mind that if you used Permalink Manager to save custom permalinks that are different from the original ones, they will not be used anymore after the plugin is removed from your site. This is due to the fact that Permalink Manager overwrites the WordPress core's permalink detecting functionality.
The inbuilt permalink system depends on rewrite rules, which are based on "regular expressions" that determine what content type should be loaded when a URL fits one of a set of permalink patterns. Contrary to this, Permalink Manager keeps all custom permalinks in an array so that they may be identified one by one, rather than using the patterns defined with original rewrite rules.
If you are dissatisfied with Permalink Manager Pro for any reason, you may request a refund within 30 days after purchase. If you would like a refund, please use this link to submit your request.
Unfortunately, a trial version of the plugin is not currently available. However, a free version is available, that includes many of the core functionalities to give you an idea of Permalink Manager's possibilities.
No, plugin files and customer support are both available exclusively through this website (permalinkmanager.pro), and it is the only place where you can get them from an official source. This website belongs to the developer of the Permalink Manager Pro plugin, who also provides direct technical support to all customers who have a valid key.
Be wary of GPL websites that distribute copies of popular WordPress plugins. The plugin files published on other suspicious-looking websites may include malicious or outdated code that might infect your website.
The customer support is provided by the same developer who built and is upgrading the plugin. There are no middlemen and nothing is made more complicated than it needs to be. Because of this, each request is handled individually, and the majority of them are resolved within 24 hours.
The plugin documentation provides numerous articles that explain how to use it in the most common scenarios. If you have not found what you are searching for, please use the contact form, which you may access using the link provided below.
