Update permalink settings is a WordPress ability from CartFlows — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Update permalink settings
WriteUpdate CartFlows' URL slug settings for funnels and steps.
Requires the CartFlows plugin on WordPress 6.9+, since abilities only register when WordPress's Abilities API (wp_register_ability / WP_Ability) is available. Every ability additionally requires the current user to hold the 'cartflows_manage_flows_steps' capability. Flow and step lifecycle abilities (publish, unpublish, clone, trash, restore, update, reorder, clone-step, update-step-title) are further gated by the 'cartflows_abilities_api_edit' site option, while settings, checkout, thank-you, optin, email-report, product-mapping, creation, and template-import abilities are gated by the separate 'cartflows_abilities_api_write' option — both default to enabled but let site admins disable write access independently. WooCommerce must also be active for the analytics, checkout, thank-you, optin, and product-flow-mapping abilities, and for importing flow templates.
What it does
This ability updates the step base slug, flow base slug, and/or permalink structure, and forces a permalink flush after saving so the new URLs take effect immediately. Call get-permalink-settings first to see the current values before changing them.
