PCP Linkflow Engine
PCP Linkflow Engine gives you complete control over every URL on your WordPress site. Whether you need to remove the /product/ prefix from WooCommerce products, add a custom base to a taxonomy, or restructure your page URLs — this plugin handles it all from a clean, modern admin interface.
No code required. Changes take effect immediately with automatic rewrite rule flushing.
🔑 Key Features:
Post Type URL Control
— ✏️ Set a custom slug for any public post type (e.g. /shop/ instead of /product/)
— 🗑️ Remove the slug entirely — serve products, posts, or CPTs at root level (e.g. /jacket/ instead of /product/jacket/)
— 📄 Full support for hierarchical post types like Pages (e.g. /pages/about/team/)
— 🛒 WooCommerce compatible — works correctly with the shop page, product archives, is_product(), and all WooCommerce template hooks
Taxonomy URL Control
— ✏️ Set a custom base for any public taxonomy (e.g. /topics/ instead of /category/)
— 🗑️ Remove the base entirely — serve term archives at root level (e.g. /clothing/ instead of /product-category/clothing/)
— 🌳 Full support for hierarchical taxonomies — sub-terms work correctly (e.g. /clothing/accessories/)
— ✅ Correct is_tax(), admin bar links, and taxonomy templates when base is removed
Developer Friendly
— 🔌 Filter hooks: pcplfe_post_type_slug, pcplfe_taxonomy_slug, pcplfe_permalink_structure, pcplfe_remove_post_type_slug, pcplfe_remove_taxonomy_slug
— 🌐 REST API — read and write settings via /wp-json/pcplfe/v1/
— 📦 Import / Export — back up and restore all settings as JSON
— 🧩 PSR-4 autoloaded OOP architecture under the PCPLFE\ namespace
Modern Admin UI — 🎨 Clean, Tailwind-inspired design with toggle switches — 📑 Tabbed settings for Post Types and Taxonomies — 🔄 POST → Redirect → GET pattern — no duplicate saves on refresh — 💾 Active tab preserved across saves and page refreshes
