I’m generally familiar with the WP standard permalink formats. When we migrated content from another site this year I opted for a simpler structure. https://weteachsuccess.org/sample-post/
What I didn’t consider is how we count user engagements for grant funding reporting purposes. Now I find I have to sort through 200 rows of Google Analytics every month to identify the pages for our administrative assistant that are appropriate for her counts. I’m reluctant to change the permalink structure because it will impact all of our content and I have to research and rewrite a couple hundred 301 redirects. And it seems unlucky to tamper with the improved search traffic we have been getting. Is there a way to create what amounts to custom structure so that my articles category is denoted in some way but we don’t fuss with all of the other categories? Such as: https://weteachsuccess.org/a/sample-post/ where “a” represents a category name? Or am I asking too much of WP and perhaps I should just swallow the permalink restructure consequences? Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
Normally the settings for WordPress will apply the same for entire website, you can not do it only for a part of posts/pages/categories. Now Is possible that this to can be easily handle a a plugin or a custom code, unfortunately I do not know to recommend one. The only plugin that I know that is handle the permalinks is SEO Yoast, but I do not know if this is what you need.

I think that you can get a better answer if you can contact a developer from WordPress. I’m just a support member from Newspaper theme.
Thank you!
