A permalink alias is an additional permalink value that can be set to redirect to the actual permalink.

If a user enters the URL of an existing alias value, it will header redirect (301) them to the correct location.

How can I remove a custom permalink?

• Click the Customise permalink button on the admin edit screen.
• Empty the input containing the permalink.
• Click on OK and update the entry to apply the changes.

The default permalink structure will then be applied.

Why do numbers keep appearing at the end of my permalink?

Permalinks should by unique across your site, if you are trying to define a duplicate a numeric value will be appended to the end.

For example, if there is an existing custom slug of "/post.html", it will be turned into "/post.html2".

What features are there still left to implement?

• Complete removal of the Category or Tag base.
• Option to remove parent categories from the category permalink, e.g. "/parent/child/" becomes just "/child/".
• Ability to customise the archive pages, e.g. "/2011-02.html".
• Option to edit the author name in author permalinks.
• Ability to disable individual / custom page permalinks to speed up sites using custom structures only.

What is the order of priority used for redirects?

1. Find an existing page by the specified path, if one exists then redirect to that page.
2. Check for a custom permalink if the current request returns a 404 error. (Defined on the individual edit page)
3. Lookup an alias permalink if no existing page is found. (Defined on the individual edit page)
4. Use the global permalink structures. (Defined on the permalink settings page)
