# Custom permalink for sermon post type

 * Hi, I have a feature request for your consideration:
 * Currently on the Sermon Settings page, I’ve set the Archive Page Slug to “sermons”.
   That means the individual sermon pages use this permalink structure:
 * `www.example.com/sermons/name-of-the-sermon`
 * However, I would like to be able to customise the permalink structure of the 
   individual sermon pages, while still keeping the main archive under “sermons”.
 * Specifically, I’d like to be able to add the sermon year to the permalink, like
   this:
 * `www.example.com/sermons/2017/name-of-the-sermon`
 * Would you be able to add the ability for us to customise the permalink structure
   to our liking? For example, you could add a field to the sermon settings page,
   where we can either accept the default permalink (eg. ‘sermons’), or else we 
   can customise it with our own variables, using the default WordPress variables
   like %year%.
 * In that case, I would be able to add `sermons/%year%/%postname%` and get the 
   desired permalink I want, and other users could use other variables – maybe /
   year/month/day or maybe using “sermon” (singular) instead of “sermons”, or whatever
   they want.
 * I made a mock-up to illustrate what I had in mind:
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/Uhr0u8k.png)
 * And if nothing were entered into this field, then it could default to whatever
   is used in the Archive Page Slug above.
 * What do you think?

 * Thanks Igor, I appreciate it! I’m glad to see Sermon Manager with some new owners
   who have the time and interest to continue developing the plugin further. I hope
   you guys will continue to provide the current functionality as a free plugin,
   as it is so widely used and is pretty much the only decent sermon plugin available.
   🙂

 * Hi [@germankiwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/germankiwi/),
 * Thanks for your encouragement, and yeah, absolutely, we will continue to maintain
   a free version. We plan on rewriting the plugin from scratch and releasing both
   a free and Pro version in the next few months.
 * We’re soon going to be rolling out a new website, a new theme and plugins and
   start the process of getting feedback/ideas from existing users for the new Sermon
   Manager.
 * So it’s exciting but a lot of work still to get there.

 * Sounds great! I’m glad to hear you’ll be soliciting feedback from existing users–
   I’ll look forward to contributing my ideas at the time. 🙂

 * How did I not notice this?
 * This is a great idea [@germankiwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/germankiwi/),
   I think I’ll add it in Sermon Manager really soon
