Missing Permalink Settings in Tainacan Dashboard

Hi everyone,

I am currently using Tainacan for my digital archive project (Mirasium), but I am unable to find the Permalink settings in the Tainacan plugin dashboard.

I want to translate the default slugs like /collections/ and /items/ into my local language (Turkish), but the “Permalinks” tab is not visible under Tainacan > Settings. I have also checked the main WordPress Settings > Permalinks page but couldn’t see any Tainacan-specific slug customization options there either.

I am using the latest version of Tainacan. Is there a specific configuration or a “Pro” setting required to enable this tab? Or has the location of these settings changed in the recent updates?

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @ARS61, welcome to our forum!

Sadly we don’t have an option to change that (never had). You can change the URL part of each collection and each item but not those two that you mentioned (which are for the collection and repository-level items archive).

I can open an issue so we can investigate how to add an option to it. But for now the things that you are expecting can be achieved when the plugin is translated to your language, since the strings are translatable (in Portuguese is `/colecoes/` and `/itens/`).

Here is the link for where to translate:

If you add the translations there however, you’ll only be able to download it directly to your WordPress/Tainacan when at least 80% of the rest of the strings are complete, which is no small job. But you can use the Export tool at the end of the page to get the `.po` and `.mo` files that you can then send to your `wp-content/languages/plugins` folder. That should to the trick.
