After you adjusted your custom permastructures in “Tools -> Permalink Manager -> Permastructures” section, the new settings will not be automatically applied to the existing posts/term items. To apply the new permalink formats also to old elements you will need to regenerate their permalinks.
During the process of custom permalinks regeneration Permalink Manager will overwrite the actual custom permalink (see “Current URI” field) with its default format (see “Default URI” field) based on current permastructure settings.
How to reset/regenerate the post type permalinks?
Please go to “Tools -> Permalink Manager -> Tools” and select section titled “Regenerate/reset“.

- “Mode” to: “Regenerate custom permalinks“
- “Select content type” to: “Post types“
- “Select post types” to specific post types eg. “Products“.
After “Regenerate” button is clicked, a list of updated/changed custom URIs will be displayed below.
How to reset/regenerate the terms permalinks?

How to exclude custom permalinks from “Regenerate/reset” tool?
It is also possible to keep specific custom permalinks intact and never regenerate them. To exclude them, please go to URI Editor and select: No (ignore this URI in bulk tools) in “Auto-update the URI field“.
Regenerate native slugs
To regenerate the native slugs please go to “Regenerate/reset” section in Permalink Manager admin panel. Please use the following settings:
- “Mode” to: “Regenerate native slugs“
- “Select content type” to: “Taxonomies“ (if you want to regenerate the term slugs) or “Post types” (if you want to regenerate the post slugs)
- “Select taxonomies/Select post type” to specific taxonomies or post types, eg. “Product tags”, “Product categories“, “Posts“, “Pages“
The native slugs will be recreated from the actual post/term titles.
