Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Default Permalink

Yes. A slug you enter explicitly (in the editor's URL/slug field, Quick Edit, the REST API slug parameter, etc.) is kept as-is. Only slugs generated automatically from the title are replaced. If you clear the slug and save, a new one is generated and replaced.

Posts of the selected post types, saved from the editor or created directly (REST API, WP-CLI, wp_insert_post(), media uploads). Existing posts are not changed until you run the bulk conversion.

Only if you select them under "Target taxonomies" (off by default). New terms get a slug such as category-12. Existing terms are not changed, because WordPress does not redirect old term URLs.

Use the default_permalink_slug filter for posts and default_permalink_term_slug for terms: add_filter( 'default_permalink_slug', function ( $slug, $post_id, $post_type ) { return 'article-' . $post_id; }, 10, 3 ); The result is made unique automatically (a suffix such as -2 is added if needed).

WordPress stores the old slug and redirects the old URL to the new permalink (301).
