Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cyr-To-Lat

Add this code to your theme's functions.php file: /** * Modify conversion table. * * @param array $table Conversion table. * * @return array */ function my_ctl_table( $table ) { $table['Ъ'] = 'U'; $table['ъ'] = 'u'; return $table; } add_filter( 'ctl_table', 'my_ctl_table' );

For instance, if your non-standard locale is uk_UA, you can redefine it to uk by adding the following code to your theme's function.php file: /** * Use non-standard locale. * * @param string $locale Current locale. * * @return string */ function my_ctl_locale( $locale ) { if ( 'uk_UA' === $locale ) { return 'uk'; } return $locale; } add_filter( 'ctl_locale', 'my_ctl_locale' );

Add similar code to your theme's functions.php file: /** * Filter title before sanitizing. * * @param string|false $result Sanitized title. * @param string $title Title. * * @return string|false */ function my_ctl_pre_sanitize_title( $result, $title ) { if ( 'пиво' === $title ) { return 'beer'; } return $result; } add_filter( 'ctl_pre_sanitize_title', 10, 2 );

Version 7.0 uses explicit slug handlers for posts, terms, WooCommerce attributes, and other known save paths. A legacy sanitize_title bridge remains as a compatibility fallback for broad calls that older integrations may still rely on. You can disable the broad fallback with this code: add_filter( 'ctl_enable_legacy_sanitize_title_bridge', '__return_false' ); The filter receives the current default value, $title, $raw_title, and $context. Explicit known contexts, such as WordPress save handling, continue to use the dedicated 7.0 slug paths. For debugging unknown bridge calls, define CYR_TO_LAT_DEBUG_LEGACY_SANITIZE_TITLE_BRIDGE as true. This diagnostic log is disabled by default and is not enabled by WP_DEBUG.

Add similar code to your theme's functions.php file: /** * Filter filename before sanitizing. * * @param string|false $result Sanitized filename. * @param string $filename Title. * * @return string|false */ function my_ctl_pre_sanitize_filename( $result, $filename ) { if ( 'пиво' === $filename ) { return 'beer'; } return $result; } add_filter( 'ctl_pre_sanitize_filename', 10, 2 );

Add the following code to your plugin's (or mu-plugin's) main file. This code won't work being added to a theme's functions.php file. /** * Filter status allowed Cyr To Lat plugin to work. * * @param bool $allowed * * @return bool */ function my_ctl_allow( bool $allowed ): bool {

sanitize_url( wp_unslash( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) : ''; if ( 0 === strpos( $uri, '/divi-comments' ) ) { return true; } return $allowed; } add_filter( 'ctl_allow', 'my_ctl_allow' );

Add similar code to your theme's functions.php file: /** * Filter post types allowed for background conversion. * * @param array $post_types Allowed post types. * * @return array */ function my_ctl_post_types( $post_types ) { return [ 'post' => 'post', 'page' => 'page', 'attachment' => 'attachment', 'product' => 'product', 'nav_menu_item' => 'nav_menu_item', ]; } add_filter( 'ctl_post_types', 'my_ctl_post_types' );

Use the following command in the console: wp cyr2lat regenerate [--post_type=<post_type>] [--post_status=<post_status>]

-post_type is a list of post types, -post_status is a list of post statuses.
