It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/enhanced-custom-permalinks_530c0a.svg) # Enhanced Custom Permalinks By [Tor N. Johnson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kasigi/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/enhanced-custom-permalinks.zip) * [Details](https://gax.wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-custom-permalinks/#description) * [Reviews](https://gax.wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-custom-permalinks/#reviews) * [Installation](https://gax.wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-custom-permalinks/#installation) * [Development](https://gax.wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-custom-permalinks/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/enhanced-custom-permalinks/) ## Description This plugin is DEPRECATED! Do NOT use it on new installations. It has been updated for legacy support only and no longer will function for new content creation. If you need custom permalinks beyond what WP supports, consider plugins like permalink- manager. This plugin is a fork of the Custom-Permalinks plugin. It has some expanded bug patches AND is able to interoperate with the WP-no-category-base plugin. This plugin will allow you to set permalinks in a more precise way – in short you can include sub-folders. A page could have the permalink http://www.example.com/ aFolder/anotherFolder/page.html without having to create the intermediate pages or categories aFolder/anotherFolder/. Be warned: _This plugin is not a replacement for WordPress’s built-in permalink system_. Check your WordPress administration’s “Permalinks” settings page first, to make sure that this doesn’t already meet your needs. This plugin is only useful for assigning custom permalinks for _individual_ posts, pages, tags or categories. It will not apply whole permalink structures, or automatically apply a category’s custom permalink to the posts within that category. ## Installation 1. Unzip the package, and upload `enhanced-custom-permalinks` to the `/wp-content/ plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Edit any post, page, tag or category to set a custom permalink. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d0ea174fd6d598bd262a7f79f8a7ddfe659d1f46df2e99ddf22b0b676a35a9f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[throws error, destroys wordpress admn area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/throws-error-destroys-wordpress-admn-area/)󠁿 [B0RG](https://profiles.wordpress.org/b0rg/) Fulbaana 3, 2016 this plugin destroys the wordpress admin area, it uses deprecated code. also the author does not seem to use the DEBUG=true setting for plugin development, what is a sign for very bad quality. Do no use, will kill your site! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ff89ce4520d3e19d6c775ce7410f197e8beb22188d1f4f941ccb1732a47c6b67? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works for the most part](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-for-the-most-part/)󠁿 [Peter Petrov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ppetrov2c/) Fulbaana 3, 2016 Works great on simple templates, but if you change the permalink of a page using a custom query template with a paged parameter, it returns a 404 error on page/2, page/3, etc. [ Read all 14 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/enhanced-custom-permalinks/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Enhanced Custom Permalinks” is open source software.
