Feature request: limit slug character length

Hi @vezraimanuel,

actually this can be done with a simple code snippet. I will post the function in next few hours.

Best regards,

Hello @mbis

many thanks! i tried that function and it works for new post and edit post… but it doesn’t work with “Regenerate/Reset”, how can i apply same function to regenerate/reset as well?

thanks!

Hi @vezraimanuel,

theoretically this snippet should work also in “Regenerate/reset” tool because it filters the default custom permalinks that are assigned to the post/terms if “Regenerate custom permalinks” mode is selected.

Could you send me a sample permalink (screenshot with URI editor on single “Edit post” page will be fine) that is not regenerated?

Best regards,
Maciej

Hi @mbis

Yes of course, this is the screenshot:

The problem:
1) I selected “Regenerate native slug”, but instead, i got new custom URLs and native slugs remains the same.

2) The new generated URL doesn’t check for duplicates. so the link are all the same. i think the WordPress native slug always check for duplicates and adds number behind the URL if found.

many thanks! ??
