How to Create Custom Links for Tag Pages in WordPress

If you’re a WordPress user, you may have found yourself wishing for more control over your site's URL structure, particularly for tag pages. Imagine having a tag URL like .../tag/tag-1 transformed into something more memorable and meaningful, such as .../projects/area/tag-1.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to customize your tag page URLs, keep existing URLs intact, and do it all without the need for redirects or creating new taxonomies.

Understanding the Problem

You may have several tag pages (like tag-1, tag-2, etc.) where you want particular tag URLs to look different than the default format.

Default Format: .../tag/tag-x

Desired Format: .../projects/area/tag-x

The Challenge

Your challenge is to achieve the custom format for some tags while keeping other tags (tag-4 and tag-5) unchanged.

The Solution

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up custom links for your tag pages in WordPress.

Step 1: Update Your Permalink Settings

Dashboard Access: Log in to your WordPress dashboard.

Navigate to Settings: Go to Settings Permalinks.

Choose the Format: Depending on your desired structure, you might select the Custom Structure or modify existing settings to fit your needs.

Tips for Permalinks:

Using tags in your custom permalink structure can often require creative solutions. Make sure your permalink settings allow for tag prefixes.

Step 2: Modify Tag Slugs

Access Tags: Head over to Posts Tags.

Edit Tag Slugs: Click on the respective tag you want to modify, then update the Slug field to reflect your desired URL. For instance, change from tag-1 to projects/area/tag-1.

Step 3: Optionally Use SEO Plugins

Several plugins can enhance your ability to manage URLs and slugs more conveniently.

SEO Plugins: Consider using SEO plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math which often have features for managing custom slugs.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effortlessly create custom links for specific tag pages in WordPress. This allows you to maintain an organized URL structure while improving user experience and SEO.

If you encounter challenges along the way, utilizing an SEO plugin can offer additional support and flexibility with your links. Happy blogging!
