SlugMaster – Author Slug & Post Slug Customizer
SlugMaster – Author Slug & Post Slug Customizer
Description
Your URL structure is one of the most underused SEO levers on your website.
WordPress gives you basic permalink settings, but if you want clean author URLs, better content organization, custom paths, or more control over how users and search engines see your site, things quickly become complicated.
SlugMaster solves that.
SlugMaster gives you a centralized URL management system for WordPress that lets you control how your pages, posts, categories, and authors appear in your URLs.
Instead of being locked into default structures like:
/author/john
/category/news
/blog/my-post
You can create cleaner structures like:
/members/john
/topics/news
/resources/my-post
Perfect for:
- Blogs
- Communities
- Membership sites
- Directories
- Agency websites
- Business websites
- SEO-focused content sites
- Custom WordPress projects
No rewrite rules. No code. No hunting through multiple settings pages.
Just complete URL control.
