Blogging: sCategory Permalink WordPress Plugin

scategories-permalink

I use WordPress to power this blog and use the permalink option of %category% to create SEO-friendly URLs.

But it has one major limitation: it uses the category with the lowest category ID to create the permalink.

This is okay if you only select one category. But if you select two or more categories, the category with the lowest ID isn’t always the category you want to appear in the permalink URL.

Luckily for me and probably many other WordPress users, Dmytro Shteflyuk encountered the same problem and created the sCategory Permalink plugin to overcome this issue. With this plugin you can select as many categories as you like for a post and select the category you want to use in the permalink.

I just installed it on this blog (WordPress 2.7.1) and it works great! Thanks Dmytro! Dymytro, you should add a tip form to your site so that I can buy you a beer.
