Setup Wizard - Plugixa Permalink Manager

The wizard asks the handful of questions that matter on day one. It is optional: the defaults work, and everything it sets is in Settings.

Start it from the banner on the dashboard.

Step 1: Welcome

The Welcome step of the setup wizard

A one-paragraph summary of what the plugin does. Skip setup in the corner leaves at any time and marks the wizard as done.

Step 2: Content

The Content step, with tick boxes for the post types and taxonomies that should have custom permalinks

Which post types and taxonomies should have custom permalinks. Everything public is ticked except Media and a few types that page builders and event plugins register. Untick anything you want left on its WordPress addresses.

The same choice lives in Content settings.

Step 3: Addresses

The Addresses step: a starting pattern for new posts, the trailing slash choice, whether old addresses keep working, and the redirect type

Question What it sets
Addresses for new posts A starting pattern for posts, or Keep WordPress’s own
Trailing slash Follow WordPress, always add one, or never add one
Keep old addresses working when an address changes Leave this on
Redirect type 301 by default. Choose 302 while you are still testing

If you choose a pattern here, it applies to posts created from now on. Existing posts keep their addresses until you run Regenerate addresses.

Step 4: Review

The Review step listing what will change, with a Finish button

A list of what will be saved. If you changed nothing it says so: the defaults will be used. Finish saves everything in one go and returns you to the dashboard.

Running it again

The dashboard banner disappears once you finish or skip. After that, change the same options in Settings. Running the wizard twice would be harmless anyway: it only writes the options you change.
