This plugin allows you to customize and internationalize the rewrite bases for author archives, search results, comments and page slugs in WordPress. It provides an easy-to-use interface in the Permalinks Settings page to set custom values for these bases.
If you notice that your permalink changes aren’t reflecting on your site, try the following steps:
Internationalized rewrite bases for author, search, comments and page (pagination) in WordPress are not part of the WordPress Core. This is because the WP_Rewrite class uses hardcoded strings which were never translated until 2024. There is an old ticket (#1762) that discusses this issue, including the idea of modifying the WP_Rewrite
property with a plugin. This plugin implements that solution. It extends the native Permalinks settings page and adds a section to change the rewrite bases for author, search, comments and page (pagination). By default, these are based on the current language of your site.
