<p>If you are like me, you often wait until after you’ve written your post to choose a title. Or perhaps you change your mind a few dozen times before you settle on the best title possible. Have you ever noticed that WordPress picks your post slug before you are ready? This plugin is the solution! It automatically updates your slug to the WordPress recommended value when you save your post, so you never have to worry about your slug being wrong again.</p>

Set the post slug to the WordPress recommended value, even if you've changed your title.

<h3>Why remove /category/ from URLs?</h3>
<p>The <code>/category/</code> base in WordPress URLs is there by default, but it doesn’t help your visitors or search engines understand your content any better. When you remove <code>/category/</code> from URLs, you get cleaner paths like <code>mydomain.com/news/</code> instead of <code>mydomain.com/category/news/</code>. They’re shorter, easier to remember and share, and more consistent with how your pages are already structured.</p>
<p>Shorter URLs also tend to look better in search results and make your site feel more polished overall. Removing the category base is a small change that makes your whole URL structure cleaner.</p>
