Try it with this:

Thanks for your reply. I saw that suggestion already, but from the looks of it, it will sanitize the slug, which I don’t want to do, since it will strip the “the” and “a” etc. from the slug…

Any other suggestions?

Despite the name of this function, the returned value is intended to be suitable for use in a URL, not as a human-readable title. It will not strip words or letters from the title. It does replace special accented characters.

if I do this:

<?php echo sanitize_title('will it strip the and a from a slug'); ?>

It prints:

will-it-strip-the-and-a-from-a-slug

OK… Thanks.

Now a really stupid newbie question – how exactly do I run that function? ??

I know it has something to do with function.php…

Thanks.

And is there anything i would have to change in that code you sent me? Or will it automatically go through every post and replace the slug with the post title?

Just checking that there isn’t anything custom in the code.

Appreciate your help very much! ??

Thanks keesiemeijer – it seems to have worked. You’ve saved me hours of work! ??
