When the permalink structure includes category, the category marked as Primary, will be used for generating the permalink of the post. Works with custom post types and custom taxonomies as long as the taxonomy supports hierarchical structure. ## Schermafbeeldingen [⌊Click the "Make Primary" button to mark the category as primary.⌉⌊Click the "Make Primary" button to mark the category as primary.⌉[ Click the “Make Primary” button to mark the category as primary. ## Installatie 1. Add the plugin’s folder in the WordPress’ plugin directory. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Now you will have the ability to make any category a primary category for the post ## FAQ ### Why I can’t see the “Make Primary” button? The button is displayed only when more than one category is selected, try assigning other categories to the post, as soon as there’s more than one category selected, the “Make Primary” button will appear. ### Developers’ Notes If you want to fetch posts belonging to a particular term you can use this: `if( function_exists( 'epc_get_primary_term_posts' ) ) { /** * Assuming you want to fetch 10 published posts which have category ID 2 * marked as primary category */ $posts = epc_get_primary_term_posts( 2, array( 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'post_type' => 'post', ) ); } ### How can I contribute?

This has saved me setting up loads of 301 redirects for the posts! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/11f757145c6d64ae048ccfe6bd2c3a9c9be59776bb7a7babf6a35b09093c60bb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Another thank you – great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-thank-you-great-plugin/)󠁿 [Exo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/richardshea/) 31 juli 2019 Just another thank you here, love it. With a bit of manual coding in PHP I can now determine which category is more suited to a Woo Commerce product instead of the first of many selected. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d84df2bb66f6d41026beb605533dad235ac30a56644d49a70a4e6a72a13d841? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-7834/)󠁿 [unitedonline](https://profiles.wordpress.org/unitedonline/) 29 juni 2019 Great plugin! Saved me a lot of time while trying to put all my categories in order. Does wonders for SEO and the dreaded duplicate content issue. Works great with WP Version 5.2.2 Thanks for your effort. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/518250680fd1c515c9bd560088b5bf7157d12c421fe49f3af3653170aeb6947d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[thank you!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thank-you-1678/)󠁿 [OgdenNews](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ogdennews/) 27 juli 2018 This seems like something that should just be baked right into WordPress by default, but for some reason it just isn't. Controlling which category gets used for your permalink is a big deal, but WordPress just doesn't let you manage it. Why? I'll never know… The only other plugin I found that could do this was Yoast SEO, but that comes with a TON of extra stuff that we just don't need/want running on our sites. This was an incredible help and a great find! Thank you so much for making this a dedicated plugin!
