Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Slug-Free Permalinks

No. Only the post types and taxonomies you check in the settings screen are affected.

No. Slug-Free Permalinks avoids aggressive 404 slug guessing. Redirects only run when WordPress can already resolve the request. This keeps the plugin lightweight and predictable.

Performing slug lookups on every 404 can introduce unnecessary database queries and unpredictable behavior. The plugin prioritizes performance and compatibility with WordPress routing.

No. Pages are intentionally excluded to avoid conflicts with typical WordPress page permalink structures.

Yes. Public taxonomies with UI support can be switched to the same ID based format.

This is not recommended. If a custom post type and a taxonomy share the same slug, WordPress rewrite rules may conflict.

Yes. The canonical ID based permalink stays rooted at the site home, and language-directory plugins can add their own prefix on top of that. For example, the plugin keeps using /post/123/ as the base shape, while Polylang style setups can expose /en/post/123/ and /en/category/45/.
