A Wordpress plugin that let's the Buildout plugin use path routing. By default, the plugin will use query parameters to perform it's routing, but sometimes search engines can struggle with indexing routes that include query parameters. By using this plugin, we can remove the need to use query parameters which results in more consistent indexing.

Example:

Without the plugin, a plugin route might be https://my-site.com/inventory?propertyId=123-Fake-St-Sale

With the plugin, we can use path routes https://my-site.com/inventory/123-Fake-St-Sale
