## Опис

**Notice: Currently works only with WordPress Classic Editor, not Gutenberg compatible**

Allows you to choose primary category for posts and custom post types.

When the permalink structure includes category, the category marked as Primary, 
will be used for generating the permalink of the post.

Works with custom post types and custom taxonomies as long as the taxonomy supports
hierarchical structure.

## Скріншоти

 * [[
 * Click the “Make Primary” button to mark the category as primary.

## Встановлення

 1. Add the plugin’s folder in the WordPress’ plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Now you will have the ability to make any category a primary category for the post

## Часті питання

### Why I can’t see the “Make Primary” button?

The button is displayed only when more than one category is selected, try assigning
other categories to the post, as soon as there’s more than one category selected,
the “Make Primary” button will appear.

### Developers’ Notes

If you want to fetch posts belonging to a particular term you can use this:
 `if(
function_exists( 'epc_get_primary_term_posts' ) ) { /** * Assuming you want to fetch
10 published posts which have category ID 2 * marked as primary category */ $posts
= epc_get_primary_term_posts( 2, array( 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page'
=> 10, 'post_type' => 'post', ) ); }

I needed to choose the primary category for some posts I was importing from an older
site, as Wordpress was choosing the wrong one. This has saved me setting up loads
of 301 redirects for the posts!

Just another thank you here, love it. With a bit of manual coding in PHP I can now
determine which category is more suited to a Woo Commerce product instead of the
first of many selected.

Great plugin! Saved me a lot of time while trying to put all my categories in order.
Does wonders for SEO and the dreaded duplicate content issue. Works great with WP
Version 5.2.2 Thanks for your effort.

This seems like something that should just be baked right into WordPress by default,
but for some reason it just isn’t. Controlling which category gets used for your
permalink is a big deal, but WordPress just doesn’t let you manage it. Why? I’ll
never know… The only other plugin I found that could do this was Yoast SEO, but 
that comes with a TON of extra stuff that we just don’t need/want running on our
sites. This was an incredible help and a great find! Thank you so much for making
this a dedicated plugin!
