Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Auto Clean URL for SEO

The main functionality is for Spanish, German, English and French websites, where it removes STOP WORDS from the WordPress Slugs (URLs). This means that all words which are not necesary for the search engines are removed, helping your SEO. For all languages it removes HTML entities and anything that is not a letter, digit, space or apostrophe.

No.

Install and activate. Create a new post and see the magic happen when WordPress makes the slug after writing the title.

You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section.

In case you have a multi-language blog, this plugin doesn't work correctly. The plugin should not be used together with QTRANSLATE or WPML. Polylang conflicts with the change of the slug when the post is a draft. Yoast WordPress SEO has added the functionality of this plugin in version 1.4.16 ("Add option to enable slug stop word cleaning") which is on by default but removed it in version 7.0.0 (Release Date: March 6th, 2018). If you use our plugin together with Yoast Wordpress SEO older than version 7.0.0, please turn the WordPress SEO functionality off (find it under SEO -> Permalinks).

Maybe. We are planning to include one configurable parameter to remove/hide the slug option, so that non administrators can't change the slug. But we are not sure if this is a feature we or our customers need.

Of course we do. ;-)
