The post WordPress Plugins: sCategory Permalink – select category for permalink generation first appeared on Dmytro Shteflyuk's Home.]]> I’m starting publishing custom WordPress plugins used in this blog, and today it will be “sCategory Permalink”. I like permalink option of WordPress %category% (and using it here), but it has one great limitation – when this option is selected, WordPress uses category with lowest ID for permalink generation! Just imagine following scenario: you have category “Development” (common for all posts related to software building), and several specific categories, for example “PHP”, “AJAX”, “JavaScript”. You have Development category ID greater than any of other categories IDs, therefor specific categories used for URL generation. But one day you decided to start learning Ruby on Rails and post about this in your blog. It’s the problem, because when you will create category “Ruby on Rails”, its ID will be greater then ID of “Development”. Now you have to take decision: to abandon posting in both categories at the same time, or to update “Development” category ID. Lastest can be done in two ways: remove category from WordPress administration area and re-add it (and then you need to go through all of your posts and add needed to this category), or update ID in database (there are several tables related on category ID). But now you can relax! Just download and install plugin!

Installation

  1. Download and unpack plugin files to wp-content/plugins/scategory_permalink directory.

  2. Enable “sCategory Permalink” plugin on your Plugins page in Site Admin.

  3. Go to the Options/Permalinks page in Site Admin and use %scategory% option in Custom text field (you can look here for other options). In this blog I’m using /%scategory%/%postname%/.

  4. Now on Write Post page near the categories checkboxes radio button will appear:
    sCategory Permalink
    Select radio button near category which will be used in permalink.

  5. Have fun!

Download

You could always download latest version of the plugin here.
