Enabling WordPress Permalinks for PaddlePay License Manager

To ensure the PaddlePay License Manager plugin functions correctly, WordPress Permalinks must be enabled with a suitable permalink structure.

How to Enable Permalinks

1. Go to Permalink Settings
   Navigate in your WordPress dashboard to:
   Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks

2. Choose a Permalink Structure
   By default, WordPress uses the Plain structure (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/?p=123), which is not compatible with the PaddlePay License Manager REST API.

   To enable proper functioning, select one of the following permalink structures:

   • Post name (recommended):
     https://yourwebsite.com/sample-post/

   • Day and name:
     https://yourwebsite.com/2024/12/30/sample-post/

   • Month and name:
     https://yourwebsite.com/2024/12/sample-post/

   • Custom structure:
     You may create your own URL format if needed.

3. Save Your Changes
   After selecting a suitable permalink structure, click Save Changes at the bottom of the page to apply.

Why Is This Important?

• The PaddlePay License Manager plugin uses WordPress REST API endpoints under /wp-json/paddlepay/v2/.

• The default Plain permalink structure breaks REST API URLs, causing the plugin to malfunction.

• Switching to a readable permalink structure like Post name ensures smooth API routing and plugin functionality.
