Permalink Manager is a most advanced and highly rated WordPress permalink plugin that helps WordPress users to control the posts, pages, post categories and tags URL addresses. It also works perfectly with WooCommerce allowing to remove /product/, /product-category/ and /product-tag/ from the shop permalinks.

The plugin allows to define custom 301 redirects for each post/term and use custom fields in posts, pages or products URLs (works also with Advanced Custom Fields). To avoid 404 or duplicated content errors after the permalink is modified, the visitors trying to access the old permalink will be automatically redirected to the currently used URL.

Using “Permastructures” editor you can replace original permalink settings with fully customised formats individually for each post type and taxonomy. You can remove the permalink bases completely or change them to whatever you like. Furthermore, if have you either WPML or Polylang plugin installed and configured, you can specify different permalink formats for each language..

The plugin supports all custom post types & custom taxonomies and popular 3rd party plugins including WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, WPML, and Polylang. To improve SEO performance even more, the plugin settings provide a possibility to disable the canonical redirect (used natively by WordPress) and control the trailing slashes settings.
