Description
Permalink Manager is a permalink plugin that allows users to adjust URLs for posts, pages, and custom post types (categories, tags and custom taxonomies are supported in Pro version).
Unlike the built-in WordPress permalink system, which only allows modifications to the last part of the URL, known as the “slug”, the Permalink Manager lets you change each individual URL whatever you like.
Following permalink customization, the old URLs will automatically redirect to the new addresses in order to prevent 404 or duplicate content issues.
