Whether you need to remove the `/product/` prefix from WooCommerce products, add a custom base to a taxonomy, or restructure your page URLs — this plugin handles it all from a clean, modern admin interface. No code required. Changes take effect immediately with automatic rewrite rule flushing. ### 🔑 Key Features: **Post Type URL Control** – ✏️ Set a **custom slug** for any public post type ( e.g. `/shop/` instead of `/product/`) – 🗑️ **Remove the slug entirely** — serve products, posts, or CPTs at root level (e.g. `/jacket/` instead of `/product/jacket/`)– 📄 Full support for **hierarchical post types** like Pages (e.g. `/pages/about/team/`)– 🛒 **WooCommerce compatible** — works correctly with the shop page, product archives,` is_product()`, and all WooCommerce template hooks **Taxonomy URL Control** – ✏️ Set a **custom base** for any public taxonomy (e. g. `/topics/` instead of `/category/`) – 🗑️ **Remove the base entirely** — serve term archives at root level (e.g. `/clothing/` instead of `/product-category/clothing/`)– 🌳 Full support for **hierarchical taxonomies** — sub-terms work correctly (e.g.`/ clothing/accessories/`) – ✅ Correct `is_tax()`, admin bar links, and taxonomy templates when base is removed **Developer Friendly** – 🔌 Filter hooks: `pcplfe_post_type_slug`, `pcplfe_taxonomy_slug`,` pcplfe_permalink_structure`, `pcplfe_remove_post_type_slug`, `pcplfe_remove_taxonomy_slug`– 🌐 **REST API** — read and write settings via `/wp-json/pcplfe/v1/` – 📦 **Import/ Export** — back up and restore all settings as JSON – 🧩 **PSR-4 autoloaded** OOP architecture under the `PCPLFE\` namespace **Modern Admin UI** – 🎨 Clean, Tailwind-inspired design with toggle switches – 📑 Tabbed settings for Post Types and Taxonomies – 🔄 POST Redirect GET pattern— no duplicate saves on refresh – 💾 Active tab preserved across saves and page refreshes ### REST API PCP Linkflow Engine exposes a REST API under the `pcplfe/v1` namespace. All endpoints require the `manage_options` capability. **Authentication** Use WordPress Application Passwords (WordPress 5.6+). Generate one at **Users Your Profile Application Passwords**, then pass it with every request: ``` -u "your-username:xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" ``` #### Endpoints **GET /wp-json/pcplfe/v1/settings** Returns all saved post type and taxonomy settings. ``` curl -u "admin:xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" \ https://yoursite.com/wp-json/pcplfe/v1/settings ``` Example response: ``` { "post_type_settings": { "post": { "enabled": true, "custom_slug": "articles", "remove_slug": false } }, "taxonomy_settings": { "category": { "enabled": true, "custom_base": "topics", "remove_base": false } } } ``` **POST /wp-json/pcplfe/v1/settings** Save post type and taxonomy settings from a JSON body. ``` curl -u "admin:xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "post_type_settings": { "post": { "enabled": true, "custom_slug": "articles", "remove_slug": false } }, "taxonomy_settings": { "category": { "enabled": true, "custom_base": "topics", "remove_base": false } } }' \ https://yoursite.com/wp-json/pcplfe/v1/settings ``` **GET /wp-json/pcplfe/v1/permalink?post_id=X** Returns the custom permalink record for a given post ID. ``` curl -u "admin:xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" \ "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/pcplfe/v1/permalink?post_id=123" ``` Example response: ``` { "post_id": 123, "post_type": "post", "default_permalink": "https://yoursite.com/articles/hello-world/", "custom_permalink": "https://yoursite.com/my-custom-slug/", "record": { "permalink": "my-custom-slug" } } ``` **POST /wp-json/pcplfe/v1/permalink** Save a custom permalink for a specific post. Send an empty `permalink` value to remove the override. ``` curl -u "admin:xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "post_id": 123, "post_type": "post", "permalink": "my-custom-slug" }' \ https://yoursite.com/wp-json/pcplfe/v1/permalink ``` To remove a custom permalink override: ``` curl -u "admin:xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "post_id": 123, "post_type": "post", "permalink": "" }' \ https://yoursite.com/wp-json/pcplfe/v1/permalink ``` ## Screenshots * [[ * Post Types tab — enable post types, set custom slugs, or remove slugs entirely using toggle switches. * [[ * Taxonomies tab — enable taxonomies, set custom bases, or remove bases with a single toggle. * [[ * Import / Export page — back up and restore all settings as a JSON file. * [[ * REST API page — view all available endpoints, parameters, and example curl requests. ## Installation 1.

No. The plugin only modifies URLs for post types and taxonomies you explicitly enable. All other URLs remain untouched. If you change a slug, existing URLs will still be handled by WordPress’s built-in redirect logic. ### Does Remove Slug work with WooCommerce products? Yes. When Remove Slug is enabled for Products, product detail pages load at `/product- name/` and WooCommerce’s `is_product()`, template hierarchy, cart, and checkout all work correctly. ### Does the WooCommerce shop page still work after setting a custom slug for Pages? Yes. The plugin automatically resolves page IDs so WooCommerce’s `pre_get_posts` hook correctly detects the shop page and displays the product archive regardless of the page URL prefix. ### Do sub-category URLs work with Remove Base? Yes. Hierarchical taxonomy terms are fully supported. For example, `/clothing/accessories/` resolves correctly when Remove Base is enabled for the `product_cat` taxonomy. ### Can I use a multi-segment custom slug? Yes. You can enter a path like `product/test` as the Custom Slug for a post type. The plugin sanitises each segment individually, so the slash is preserved and the correct rewrite rules are generated. ### Does it work with WordPress default taxonomies (category, post_tag)? Yes. The plugin correctly uses each taxonomy’s native WordPress query variable (` category_name` for category, `tag` for post_tag) so custom base slugs work without any additional configuration. ### Can I export my settings to use on another site? Yes. Use the **Import / Export** page under the Linkflow Engine menu to download a JSON backup of all settings and custom permalinks, and re-import them on any other site. ### Is it translation-ready? Yes. All strings are wrapped in standard WordPress i18n functions using the `pcp- linkflow-engine` text domain. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PCP Linkflow Engine” is open source software.
