Readme github.com/hootrix/wp-sluger ↗

A WordPress plugin that automates the generation of SEO-friendly URL slugs using DeepLX and *OpenAI API.

Features

  • Automatically generate SEO-friendly slugs for posts and pages
  • Support for both DeepLX and *OpenAI API
  • Multiple language styles:
    • English Translation
    • Chinese Pinyin
    • Romanization (For non-Latin scripts)
    • Keep Original (just sanitize)
    • Custom Style with custom prompts
  • Real-time API connection testing
  • Support for custom *OpenAI models
  • Detailed error logging for troubleshooting

Slug Update Logic

  • The plugin only triggers slug generation when the post/page title is changed
  • If you modify other content without changing the title, the slug remains unchanged
  • This prevents unnecessary API calls and maintains URL stability
