    Hi,

    I see that few of my post URL is changing. I have not changed anything at all. It adding “-” in few of my post and I can see there is an entry in the redirect log.
    I have not changed anything at all and now worried as how this is happening. Has anything changed to wordpress at all

    Now it added a “-” between it.

    If anyone can please let me know what is happening and why this auto update.

    Thanks,

    Hi. Not sure why it would change if was already set. That said, WordPress auto-generates your URL using you post title, replacing spaces with hyphens. This is good practice as they are more readable. Additionally, for SEO purposes, Google treats hyphens as word separators, so if you want your posts to be easily searchable from Google, then hyphens should be used.

    Yes it is good, but I am worried because it is automatically changing. I have not changed it as they were old post.
