Hikari Category Permalink

WordPress 3.0 comes with a new filter that lets us customize what is used for each permalink structure tag, other than WordPress default. One of these permalink structure tags is %category%. By default, WordPress always use the category with lowest ID, making %category% impractical for SEO optimization. Hikari Category Permalink allows post authors to choose among each post’s categories, which of them is used in that post permalink, giving much more flexibility and power to permalinks. This plugin is a fork of Dmytro’s sCategory Permalink. It has all original features and is compatible with original options, while being more stable and simple, and also fixes 2 recurring bugs. Features You can choose for each post separately, which category is used in its %category% permalink. Posts without a category set to be used in permalink behave as WordPress default, (which currently is) the one with lowest ID is used Posts with a category set have it used In post edit page, where you set the post’s categories, there’s a new feature allowing you to choose which category will be used in permalink No rewrite rules tweaks are done, making the plugin much simpler and bug free If you already used sCategory Permalink, you can safely deactivate it and replace by Hikari Category Permalink, all your category permalinks will be used

Module Positions

What does it do? If you have a site with multiple subpages, you might have some positions in your template where you probably want to manage individual content (like a sidebar, a footer, a banner or whatever). The WordPress widgets can display content in specific widget-positions, but you can’t tell WordPress to only display your content on a certain page – That’s where my plugin comes in. You can create different module positions, assign content and choose on which pages it will be shown. If you use WordPress as a CMS, this will be very helpful. Create Module Positions First, you can create different module positions. Rename these as you want. To put a module position in your template you can easily copy & paste the shortcode right next to the positions’s name. if you have already created content, you can drag and drop these around to change their order. Create Content Now, you can create content for your module positions. You can choose on which pages, categories or posts your content will be displayed. For this information your custom menus will be loaded (which are defined in your template). If there are categories with posts in your custom menu, click the “+”-button to show them. You also can choose on which posts your content will be displayed here. Define your HTML-markup In the little metabox on the right side, you can simply define your HTML-markup. Try writing {{post_content}} for your content and {{post_title}} for your title – A list of all values can be found here. To reset your markup just click on “Reset”, that will load the standard markup (which can be changed on the settings page). Settings Change your standard HTML-markup. If you click on “Reset” in your moduleposition-posts, this will be loaded. Change the order of posts in the drop-down menus of your categories. That may be useful if you have a lot of posts in a category and you want to find a special post. Missing something? Send me an e-mail! I’m open to new ideas! Write me: [email protected]

Common questions about this comparison

Which has better reviews, Hikari Category Permalink or Module Positions?

Hikari Category Permalink (5.0★, 5 reviews) and Module Positions (5.0★, 5 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.

Should I choose Hikari Category Permalink or Module Positions?

AppRanks cannot recommend one over the other from published marketplace data: the WordPress Plugin Directory does not expose a rating or review base that separates them. Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown, and compare against your own requirements rather than a headline number.

Which is faster to set up, Hikari Category Permalink or Module Positions?

Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the WordPress Plugin Directory publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.

Which works better for small vs large WordPress Plugin Directory site owners?

Hikari Category Permalink typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (5 reviews). Module Positions typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (5 reviews).

Hikari Category Permalink and Module Positions both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV.
