Change Permalink Helper

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin does not work anymore (in my case, it may still work for other users) and the developer is not responding to support-requests …

   I changed URL structure from “Day and name” to “Post name”. Plugin’s performance for Redirecting to new URL structure is brilliant. Many thanks for developer.

   I updated to WooCommerce 3.0 and began to experience many problems which I had to tackle one by one – One of the problems was that the Product Permalinks was “Product Category, Product Name” before. It then automatically changed to “Product/ Product Category, Product Name” – Which completely messed up my website and search engines went to 404 links. I couldn’t change it back – so I finally found this plugin – didn’t have to do anything else apart from install it and it completely solved my problem! Thanks a bunch!. One question – Is this a permanant fix for all those links that are on search engines? Will they eventually change to the correct links and will I experience any problems moving on? Thanks!
