Not only that but you can control the full permalink so the post type slug is not required at the start of the link. Multiple post types can use the same permalink structure. #### Usage There are 2 ways to use this plugin: **Permalink Settings** The plugin adds fields to the permalinks settings page for any public facing custom post types. **In Code** When registering a post type you can add a value to the rewrite property with the key ‘permastruct’ to define your default permalink structure. eg: ``` array( 'permastruct' => '/%custom_taxonomy_name%/%author%/%postname%/' ), ... ) ); ?> ``` ## Screenshots * [[ * The extended permalink settings panel ## Installation 1. You can install the plugin using the auto-install tool from the WordPress back- end. 2. To manually install, upload the folder `/wp-permastructure/` to `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 4. You should now see input boxes for any custom post types you have on the permalink settings page ## FAQ None so far. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/328961dc86acbe91e9a45fc002a7ab0ea1e548f45f04e3bad76f714bce21f93a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Finally a plugin that does this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-a-plugin-that-does-this/)󠁿 [rimkashox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rimkashox/) May 2, 2017 Thanks, finally a plugin that adds the ability to add custom permalinks with %you- own-category% for custom post types. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4be57828c3c3dfd82c128971de29f189bbe643c3b2d421a4c2eb279591f1b456? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[After deactivating plugin, website is broken -> No support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-deactivating-plugin-website-is-broken-no-support/)󠁿 [Markgoessens](https://profiles.wordpress.org/markgoessens/) September 3, 2016 1 reply The plugin did not what I expected. I decided to deactivate the plugin. After that, every page gave a 404 error. When I asked for support, a few months ago, I didn’t receive any reaction. So my advice, think twice before installing this plugin ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3e8e4e7e517ad96ca4299d402d1d2d181e675f9ccc3c0c471973d4a5b3972c66? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-4939/)󠁿 [fracart](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fracart/) September 3, 2016 Exactly what I needed thanks ! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b1e3116ff3cdef55540dc3f37462c239e415b7f9e52722b06281fb2fa1589d7f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[We were about from the craziness but …….](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/we-were-about-from-the-craziness-but/)󠁿 [loorlab](https://profiles.wordpress.org/loorlab/) June 11, 2017 We found an easy solution in this plugin.
