Content Settings - Plugixa Permalink Manager

The Content tab decides what the plugin manages.

The Content tab: tick boxes for content types and taxonomies with custom permalinks, fields for post and term IDs to leave alone, the unpublished content choice and a switch to skip content types not meant to be visited

A tick box for each public post type: Posts, Pages, Media and any that plugins add, such as Products. An unticked type keeps its WordPress addresses: it has no tab on Permastructures, no Permalink box, and does not appear in the URI Editor.

Four types are unticked by default, because they are rarely pages a visitor is meant to reach:

Type What it is
Media (attachment) Attachment pages
tribe_events An events plugin’s events
e-landing-page A page builder’s landing pages
elementor_library A page builder’s saved templates

Tick any of them to give it custom addresses.

The same for taxonomies: Categories, Tags, and custom ones such as Product categories, Product tags and Product brands.

Leave these post IDs alone / Leave these term IDs alone

To exclude single items rather than a whole type, list their IDs. Ranges are allowed:

12, 40-45, 318

An excluded item is left to WordPress, and it is locked in the URI Editor so nobody gives it an address by accident.

Exclude an item before it has a custom address. If it already has one, that address simply stops working, with no redirect. To retire an existing custom address cleanly, set the item to Disable the custom permalink instead, which leaves a redirect.

Unpublished content

Choice Effect
Give drafts an address too An address is stored as soon as the item is first saved
No address until published (drafts) The default. Drafts have none; pending items do
No address until published (drafts and pending) Neither has one until it is published

Waiting until publication avoids filling the list with addresses for titles that change three times before they go live. It is why a draft shows a dash in the Permalink column.

Skip content types that are not meant to be visited

On by default. Some plugins register post types that have no address rule of their own, such as a form plugin’s entries or a page builder’s templates. With this on, they are left out even if they are technically public.

Turn it off only if a content type you ticked above is missing from Permastructures and the URI Editor.
