THis is not a very SEO friendly URL * Thanks in advance * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fconverting-a-permalink%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Sami Ahmed Siddiqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sasiddiqui/) * (@sasiddiqui) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-a-permalink/#post-10371234) * Hi [@barlee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barlee/) * How many URLs you have like this? If you have some URLs like 20 – 50 so, i recommend you to install the plugin, make configuration from the settings page and regenerate the Permalinks for these Pages. * In this case, you need to edit all these pages and just click the “Regenerate” button available there. * Let me know, if you have any question. * Thanks, Sami * Thread Starter [barlee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barlee/) * (@barlee) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-a-permalink/#post-10372302) * Hi, * Thanks. * It is only 5 or so. * Plugin Author [Sami Ahmed Siddiqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sasiddiqui/) * (@sasiddiqui) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-a-permalink/#post-10373186) * [@barlee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barlee/) That’s great.

Like: Post, Page, Category, Portfolio and so on. * Once you installed the plugin you can find the Settings page on the Admin Dashboard. You can also check screenshots here to find how it looks like: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalinks-customizer/#screenshots](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalinks-customizer/#screenshots) * Let me know, if you have any question. * Thanks, Sami * Thread Starter [barlee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barlee/) * (@barlee) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-a-permalink/#post-10373871) * Hi Sami, * I think your plugin is working as expected, I think my issue is something else. Unless I am mistaken. * Taxonomies Permalinks Settings I have added (portfolio/%title%) to portfolio_category box However, it is that top-level permalink that I want to alter, so I have added on PostTypes Permalinks Settings the following to the Portfolio box (portfolio- category/%category%) * I am sure I am missing something and I really appreciate your help. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-a-permalink/#post-10871197) * [@sasiddiqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sasiddiqui/) Your account is flagged for moderation watch. * [https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#being-mod-watched-or-banned](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#being-mod-watched-or-banned) * I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site.
