<p>Auto-generate a unique random string and set it to post_name.</p>
<h4>Customization with hooks</h4>
<p>Use of filter hooks is at your own risk.</p>
<ul>
<li>You can change post_type to be applied by an array. Deafult is ‘post’ only.</li>
</ul>
<pre>
add_filter( 'random_post_name_post_types', 'hoge' );
function hoge(){
    return ['post', 'page'];
}
</pre>
<ul>
<li>You can change the number of characters in the post_name. Deafult is 10.</li>
</ul>
<pre>
add_filter( 'random_post_name_digits', 'hoge' );
function hoge(){
    return 20;
}
</pre>
<ul>
<li>You can change the variation of characters. Deafult is ‘0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’. Do not include multibyte chars.</li>
</ul>
<pre>
add_filter( 'random_post_name_choices', 'hoge' );
function hoge(){
    return '0123456789abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyz_-';
}
</pre>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Too few characters and too few character variations can cause unexpected problems.</p>
