About Ecreate Auto Slug Creator
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
WordPress builds the permalink of a post from its full title, so a long title gives a long, ugly URL. Ecreate Auto Slug Creator is an automatic slug generator: it removes the stop words that add nothing, such as “the”, “and” and “for”, and keeps your permalinks short, clean and SEO friendly.
It works on posts, pages and WooCommerce products, and it can clean up the URLs of content you published long ago, with the old addresses redirected so nothing breaks.
Example:
- Title: 10 Best and Easy Tomato Soup Recipes for the Winter Season
- WordPress URL: /10-best-and-easy-tomato-soup-recipes-for-the-winter-season/
- With this plugin: /10-easy-tomato-soup-recipes-winter/
The plugin works for posts and WooCommerce products, and it can also clean up the URLs of content you published before you installed it. Old URLs keep working, because WordPress redirects them to the new ones.
Features
- Removes common English words from URLs.
- Your own list of words to always remove, and words to always keep.
- Keeps phrases together, so “how to” is kept or removed as a pair.
- Option to remove numbers and years.
- A maximum number of words per URL.
- A URL is never left empty or meaningless, even when every word is a common word.
- Cleans URLs of content that is already published, with a preview you approve first.
- Old URLs are redirected to the new ones.
- Works with the block editor, the classic editor, Quick Edit, scheduled posts and WooCommerce products.
- Never changes a URL that was typed in by hand.
- Settings are kept when the plugin is deactivated and removed only when it is deleted.
Safe by default
- Only new items are cleaned. URLs that are already published are never changed unless you ask for it.
- A URL you typed in yourself is always left alone.
- Nothing is changed in bulk until you have seen the list and selected the URLs.
- Titles in scripts that WordPress cannot convert to Latin letters are left as they are.
Need it for other post types?
Ecreate Auto Slug Creator works with posts and WooCommerce products. If you need the same feature for a custom post type, rules per category, or help changing the URLs of a large site with redirects, please contact us.
Installation

Frequently asked questions
How do I shorten permalinks in WordPress?
Install the plugin and publish a post. The permalink is built from the title with the common words taken out, so a long title still gives a short URL. Everything it does is under Slug Setting in the admin menu.
Can I clean up the URLs of posts I published years ago?
Yes. Slug Setting has a tool that rewrites old slugs in bulk. WordPress keeps the previous address and redirects it, so links and search rankings are not lost.
Does it make SEO friendly URLs for WooCommerce products?
Yes. Products are handled the same way as posts and pages, and product tagging can be left alone if you only want posts shortened.
Will this break my existing URLs?
No. By default the plugin only cleans the URL of new items. If you choose to clean URLs that are already published, WordPress redirects each old URL to the new one, so visitors and links still reach your content.
Can I choose the URL myself?
Yes. If you type a URL in yourself, the plugin leaves it alone, and it is left out of the list when you clean existing URLs.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Turn on Products in the settings and product URLs are cleaned in the same way, including products added through the WooCommerce REST API or an import.
Does it work with custom post types?
Not at the moment. The plugin supports posts and WooCommerce products. If you need it for a custom post type, please contact us.
What about titles that are not in English?
If WordPress cannot convert the title to Latin letters, the plugin does not change the URL. The built-in word list is English, and you can add your own words to remove in any language WordPress can convert.
Does it change URLs when I edit a title later?
Not by default. You can turn that on in the settings, and old URLs are redirected, but leaving it off is safer.
Are my settings removed when I deactivate the plugin?
No. Settings are kept when the plugin is deactivated. They are removed only when you delete the plugin.
