O que é um link permanente personalizado no WordPress?
Permalinks são os URLs permanentes de seus posts de blog individuais, páginas e outras páginas de arquivo em seu site WordPress.
O objetivo do seu permalink é criar uma estrutura de URL fácil de entender, tanto para humanos quanto para mecanismos de pesquisa.
Por exemplo: https://example.com/best-refrigerators-for-tiny-kitchens/
Esse URL é muito melhor do que os URLs antigos, como: https://example.com/index.php?p=4556
O WordPress oferece aos proprietários de sites várias opções de permalink para escolher. Você pode visualizá-las visitando a página Configurações ” Permalinks.
Além de alterar a estrutura principal do permalink, o WordPress também oferece maneiras de personalizar os URLs individuais de posts, páginas, categorias, tags e outras áreas do seu blog.
Também é possível usar os plug-ins do WordPress para criar permalinks totalmente personalizados para seções específicas do seu site que substituem as configurações padrão do WordPress.
Vamos dar uma olhada em todas as opções, uma a uma. Começaremos com as opções internas padrão que vêm com seu site WordPress.

Como alterar a estrutura do link permanente do WordPress
Se você quiser alterar todo o esquema de geração de URL do seu site, vá para a página Configurações ” Permalinks no painel de administração do WordPress.
Aqui, você pode selecionar uma estrutura de URL para seus posts individuais. Você também pode usar as tags mostradas na tela para criar uma estrutura personalizada para seus URLs do WordPress.
Por exemplo, você pode usar o título da postagem (%postname%) e a categoria (%category%), além do ano (%year%) em que ela foi publicada.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Save Changes” (Salvar alterações) na parte inferior da página para armazenar suas alterações.
Recomendamos o uso de uma estrutura de URL que inclua o nome da postagem na URL. Isso torna seus URLs mais fáceis de usar e pode melhorar o SEO do WordPress.
Certifique-se de usar permalinks amigáveis para SEO como esse ao criar um novo blog ou site do WordPress.
Entretanto, se você tiver um site existente que já esteja recebendo tráfego dos mecanismos de pesquisa, a alteração dos permalinks poderá afetar suas classificações de SEO.
Como alterar o prefixo do URL da categoria e da tag no WordPress
Por padrão, o WordPress usa /category/ como base para seus URLs de categoria e /tag/ para as páginas de tags.
Assim como os exemplos abaixo:
https://example.com/category/technology/https://example.com/tag/fintech/
Você pode alterar esses prefixos básicos acessando Settings ” Permalinks e simplesmente inserindo novos prefixos.
Certifique-se de clicar no botão “Save Changes” (Salvar alterações) para atualizar a base de categorias e a base de tags.
Agora, você terá uma nova categoria e bases de tags ativas em seu site, como estas:
https://example.com/topics/technology/ (para páginas de categoria)https://example.com/hashtag/fintech (para páginas de tags)
Como alterar o URL de um post ou página individual do WordPress
Depois de configurar sua estrutura inicial de permalink, o WordPress a usará como modelo para todos os links do seu site.
No entanto, você também pode alterar o slug do URL dentro da estrutura do URL para posts individuais, páginas e tipos de post personalizados, para torná-lo mais amigável para SEO.
Você pode personalizar a parte do slug do URL na tela de edição da postagem dentro do editor de conteúdo do WordPress.
Se estiver criando um novo post ou página, será necessário clicar em “Publicar” ou “Atualizar” para salvar o rascunho primeiro.
Depois disso, basta clicar em “URL Slug” na caixa de meta Permalink.
Em seguida, altere o slug do URL do post para um permalink personalizado.
Quando terminar, clique no botão “Update” (Atualizar) para salvar o novo permalink.
Você pode usar esse método para todos os tipos de post, incluindo produtos do WooCommerce, sites de associação, cursos on-line e muito mais.
Como alterar o URL de uma categoria ou tag do WordPress
Na etapa anterior, mostramos como modificar o prefixo base da categoria e da tag no WordPress. Nesta etapa, mostraremos como alterar as palavras-chave do URL para uma categoria ou tag individual.
Basta acessar Posts ” Categorias e clicar no link “Editar” abaixo da categoria que você deseja personalizar.
O WordPress agora carregará os detalhes da categoria.
A partir daqui, você pode alterar o slug da categoria para personalizar seu permalink.
Certifique-se de clicar no botão “Update” (Atualizar) para salvar suas alterações de slug de categoria.
Da mesma forma, você pode editar uma tag individual acessando a tela Posts ” Tags e seguindo as mesmas etapas.
Você também pode editar quaisquer taxonomias personalizadas usando o mesmo método descrito acima.
Como alterar o URL de uma página de autor no WordPress
O WordPress criará automaticamente um URL de página de autor para os diferentes autores em seu site.
A aparência é a seguinte: https://example.com/author/jsmith/
No exemplo acima, jsmith é o slug e author é a base.
O problema é que o WordPress não vem com uma opção para alterar a base do URL do autor ou o slug.
Felizmente, você pode alterar isso com apenas alguns cliques usando um plug-in do WordPress.
A primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é instalar e ativar o plug-in Edit Author Slug. Para obter detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Após a ativação, vá para a página Usuários ” Todos os usuários. Em seguida, clique no link “Edit” (Editar) abaixo do nome de usuário.
Na página seguinte, role para baixo até a seção “Edit Author Slug”.
Aqui, você poderá escolher um slug de autor ou adicionar o seu próprio na caixa “Personalizado”.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Update User” (Atualizar usuário) para armazenar suas configurações de permalink.
Se você quiser alterar a base do permalink do autor, basta ir para Settings ” Edit Author Slug.
Aqui, você verá uma opção para alterar a base de autores e até mesmo escolher bases de autores diferentes para usuários com funções de usuário diferentes.
Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia sobre como alterar o slug e a base do URL do autor no WordPress.
Como criar Permalinks totalmente personalizados no WordPress
Todos os métodos acima permitem que você personalize os links permanentes do WordPress até certo ponto. Entretanto, eles não podem ajudá-lo a criar permalinks totalmente personalizados.
Isso ocorre porque o WordPress não oferece essa funcionalidade por padrão.
Felizmente, há um plug-in que pode ajudar. Se você quiser substituir a estrutura de URL padrão do WordPress para seções específicas do seu site, esse plug-in é para você.
A primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é instalar e ativar o plug-in Custom Permalinks. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia para iniciantes sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Após a ativação, você precisa abrir a postagem na qual deseja criar um link permanente personalizado.
Em seguida, em vez de editar o permalink como acima, você encontrará a opção de criar um permalink personalizado abaixo do editor na caixa “Custom Permalink” (Permalink personalizado).
Da mesma forma, você também pode criar permalinks personalizados para categorias.
Para fazer isso, vá para a página Posts ” Categorias e clique no link “Editar” abaixo da categoria que você deseja alterar.
Na página de detalhes da categoria, você encontrará a opção de criar um permalink personalizado para essa categoria específica.
Você pode até mesmo criar um URL sem o prefixo da base da categoria.
Você pode gerenciar e desativar todos os seus permalinks personalizados navegando até Custom Permalinks ” Post Type Permalinks na barra lateral do administrador.
Basta selecionar os permalinks personalizados que deseja excluir e, em seguida, clicar no menu suspenso “Ações em massa” para selecionar a opção “Excluir permalinks”.
Depois disso, clique no botão “Apply” (Aplicar), e o plug-in removerá esses permalinks personalizados. O permalink excluído será substituído por seu esquema de permalink padrão.
Você também pode usar o plug-in para gerenciar e excluir em massa seus permalinks de taxonomia acessando Custom Permalinks ” Taxonomies Permalinks e seguindo as mesmas etapas.
Como configurar redirecionamentos permanentes e evitar erros 404
Se você tiver feito alterações na estrutura de permalink ou no slug do autor, ou se tiver criado permalinks totalmente personalizados, há uma chance de encontrar erros 404.
Para corrigir isso, você precisa configurar redirecionamentos de permalink de seus permalinks antigos para os novos para evitar esses erros.
A maneira mais fácil de fazer isso é usar o plug-in All in One SEO. É o melhor plug-in de SEO para WordPress usado por mais de 3 milhões de sites para aprimorar seu SEO.
Ele tem um complemento avançado de gerenciador de redirecionamento que permite gerenciar redirecionamentos 301 para seus permalinks, acompanhar e corrigir erros 404 e muito mais.
Para obter mais detalhes sobre a configuração de redirecionamentos de permalink, consulte nosso guia para iniciantes sobre a criação de redirecionamentos 301 no WordPress.
Após a ativação, você pode gerenciar e criar novos redirecionamentos de permalink diretamente no painel do WordPress.
Além disso, o AIOSEO também ajuda a rastrear e corrigir páginas de erro 404. Se por acaso você perder alguns redirecionamentos, isso poderá ajudá-lo a encontrá-los e corrigi-los mais tarde com facilidade.

I knew some of the settings from WordPress, but some I didn’t even know could be adjusted like this. For example, changing the author URL with a permalink looks great. Is it possible to do this other than using a plugin? I would like to avoid a lot of plugins.
WPBeginner Support says
While possible it is difficult which is why we recommend the plugin, for your concern on the number of plugins we would recommend taking a look at our article below:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/how-many-wordpress-plugins-should-you-install-on-your-site/
Administrador
Jiří Vaněk says
I read the article. I currently have around 30 plugins and it feels like a lot for me. Although I have my own server with 8GB of ram for one website, I try to use some kind of compromise even with regard to WordPress updates. The fewer plugins, the less chance something will break when you update. But I understand. Thank you for answer.
Tasin says
Bro I do not have the permalink editor in the post editor sidebar. Why is that? I am using the latest version of WordPress. I can edit url in classic editor but not in block editor.
WPBeginner Support says
We would recommend checking your preferences in the post editor to ensure you do not have that section hidden as a likely reason.

Robert says
After adding the link to subcategories, WP changes to: /?product_cat=
How is it possible to change it?
WPBeginner Support says
That looks like you are using an eCommerce plugin, you would want to check further down the permalinks page or in the plugin’s settings for modifying those permalinks.

Hi WP Beginner,
Great article! I have already made multiple pages with a theme and I want to change all their permslinks. Every time I do it I get a 404 on the updated page.

You would likely need to resave your permalink settings and redirect your old posts/pages if you wanted.

Hi,
If we use custom permalink plugin does it affect our website SEO in any case?
WPBeginner Support says
It would depend on what you do with the plugin, using the plugin to make the same change you would do manually would not be different than using the plugin if that is what you mean

Katie says
I see that this post was originally from 2016. Would you still recommend using Custom Permalinks as the plugin for this? When i went to add the plugin it says “Untested with your version of WordPress” and the last update was a year ago. Would love to know if this is still recommended.
WPBeginner Support says
For that not tested warning, you would want to take a look at our article below for our opinion on that:

Hi,
I have old website and now I change my Permalink Settings setting from date pattern to post name.
will it change old links too?
Site is performing good in google. I don’t want to change old setting.
But new post with Post name Permalink Settings.
WPBeginner Support says
The link to the post itself would change but links to the post at the old location would not update and would cause 404 errors for anyone using those links.

Hello, I read your post on how to migrate from blogger to WordPress. One of the things that I see as the issue here is the link structure and AdSense.
Assuming that I migrate from blogger to WordPress without setting the link to month and day as you recommended in the other post but rather choose to edit each post I migrated from blogger to match the month and day, will that work?
Otherwise, all other posts I published will maintain the posts URLs except those imported from blogger(they would be edited to match the month and day) will that be ok
WPBeginner Support says
If you change your permalinks then you would need to create redirects to prevent your visitors from seeing 404 errors.

Hello. I just made a WordPress website for my blog. How do I change the permalink to use the primary domain instead of starting with the temp.domain?

Google may have cached the old structure if you changed it. You could use Google’s URL removal tool if you wanted to remove those results in Google search.

The plugin should allow you to change the permalink to anything so it should be able to set up that permalink structure.

I have a new website (unpublished as yet) and want to have a home page. However, when I attempt to create a page with just that URL Permalinks adds an unfathomable number to the URL eg – example.com.au/123-2.
I’ve tried altering the Permalink settings but that alters the code after the / to whatever the settings dictate.
How do I create a page with just the URL and no / or additions after the /?

If you want to have a specific page appear when it is just the url without the slashes then you would set the home page under Settings>Reading

Hi I have shifted my blog from blogger to wordpress. My permalink set to month and post. But now for new post I want the permalink to be post only. So after reading this aricle I have installed custom permalinks plugin but while editing the new post I don’t see the option to change the month and post from slug. Please suggest what can be done for changing the new post and coming post permalink to post only instead of month and post.
Tucker Daugh says
I’ve been told by developers to not change permalinks at the “EDIT” level. I have some pages on a site I helped build that really could benefit with a name change. Something that reflects what a person may be searching for vs something we were trying to be clever with. So, question: What causes permalinks to “break” if you change them at that edit stage (When you open a page and see the URL). I would assume if I am careful and do_something_like_this than I’m okay, right?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Tucker,
When you change a page’s URL by editing it, your page would work fine on your website. However, your old URL would be indexed by search engines and they will not be able to find it. If you must change the permalink of an existing page, then you need to set up a redirect.

Orit Adar says
My entire site is still under maintenance, but most of my posts are defined as “published” in that setup. If I want to change the slugs can I just revert the status to “draft” temporarily, change the slug and then re-“publish”? I guess I do not understand the meaning of the word “publish” as long as the site is not alive, but it helps to see the posts better s I did it. Thank you.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Orit,
If your site is not live and your content is not indexed by search engines, then you can change the slug of a live page/post as well.

My site is new and under construction -not live. I’ve created a couple posts and published them, but my site is not live. Can i keep changing the slug , permalinks, and category tags, without needing the re-direct plug in?
Is it safe to keep making changes to the permalink as long as my site is not live (even though i clicked ‘publish’?
Do i only need the redirect plug in if i make changes tot the permalnk after the site goes live?

Jaymi V says
My permalink structure is set to post type. After I have published a page & I parent it in order to use the parent’s sidebar menu, once I update the page it adds another link to the url structure — for example, page url originally is: example.com/acctg/new-page
After I parent it to my accounting landing page & I update the page the url becomes:
example.com/acctg/accounting/new-page
If I delete the extra /accounting from the permalink the page will appear as a blank page unless I un-parent it from /accounting landing page & create its own sidebar menu.
Is there a workaround to this problem?

If I change the title of a static home page, should it affect the URL?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Dor,
If you have published the homepage, then it will not affect the URL. However, if the page is still saved as a draft and has never been published, then changing the title will change the URL slug. However, you can click on the URL slug on the page edit screen and change it back.

Jean-Francois Mayer says
Thank you. This is indeed a good description. However, there is one aspect that you do not mention: what happens to the customized slugs in case the permalink structure changes.
I am currently moving a website in French to WP. When titles are too long, or include apostrophes (that result into making two words into one, when slugs get automatically created), I have shortened them.
After a number of my customized permalinks had been created, I decided that I preferred the permalinks to follow a structure on the pattern year-month-day, i.e…./2016/08/15/… instead of …/2016/08/…
Easily done… but all my customizations were gone!
I will recreate them. But then, how to make sure that my customized permalinks will stick, even if I would decide to change again the permalink structure before the site goes live?
There should be a way, or a plugin – but I have not yet found it.
WPBeginner Support says
Slugs are not supposed to be changed when you update permalink structure. They are stored in the database and will be used again when you use a Permalink structure that uses post-name in the URL instead of ID.
Administrador
Jean-Francois Mayer says
Thank you very much for your reply.
Yes, I expected indeed custom slugs not to change when I updated the permalink structure… but they did, for reasons beyond my understanding, and I do not dare to test that a second time. It may have to do with the fact that a number of posts were imported from another CMS in an automated way, which resulted in numeric slugs, that we managed to regenerate (using Permalink Manager) in order to bring them to standard slugs. Maybe this had unexpected consequences when changes in settings were made at a later stage.
Anyway, good to know this is not a frequent behavior, and probably caused by something else. But I will be extremely careful in the future with any change in the permalink structure!
Logen says
The recent low ratings, inactive support forums and lack of response from author is making me hesitant to use Custom Permalinks. Anyone has any issues with it, considering last plugin update was 7 months ago?
