Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WP Better Permalinks
To start with, you should add Custom Post Types and Taxonomies assigned to them. Without this, the plugin will not work because it creates a friendly link structure of Custom Post Type and Taxonomy. Then on the plugin settings page you can choose Taxonomy for each Custom Post Type that will be preferred for building URLs. You can create your own Custom Post Types and Taxonomies using the built-in functions in WordPres or additional plugins. Finally, just save the plugin settings and the new structure for links will work.
You can use the Wordpress features: register_post_type and register_taxonomy or use any plugin for this. It is important to set visibility as public in arguments.
Yes. Minor corrections are made to allow the plugin to work properly. In the case of Custom Post Type, the value of hierarchical is set to false. If set to true, the parent post servant is displayed in the link. The child post may have a different category, which would cause URL mismatch. For Taxonomy, set the hierarchical value in the rewrite section for hierarchical terms. Thanks to this, we keep the tree structure, which is very important.
Unfortunately not. This possibility is not available. You can assign Taxonomy to only one Custom Post Type. Adding one Taxonomy to many Custom Post Types settings will not be saved.
Links are created according to the structure: * Custom Post Type > Single Term (or Term tree) > Post * Custom Post Type > Post (when no term is selected) * Custom Post Type > Single Term (or Term tree) If you choose more than one category for a post, the first one is always taken.
Yes. The plugin is completely free.
