antithesisgr

<p>This plugin allows you to use longer URLs (permalinks), by allowing much more characters in your titles and slug. The important is that this is done in a way that is future compatible with WordPress core updates.<br />
There is a 200 characters limitation on WordPress core nowadays and this limit is raised to 3000 with the plugin.<br />
Plugin is always extending the current WordPress core code – your long URLs will work even after WordPress core updates.<br />
This plugin is really useful especially in non-latin slugs because of the required url escaping that increases the length of your permalinks a lot.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Upon activation the available slug length (post title) will become 3000, allowing long permalinks.</li>
<li>Required functionality is automatically applied without changing WordPress core files.</li>
<li>Even after core updates, plugin will automatically apply required changes and just keep your long URLs working.</li>
<li>Plugin requires at least MySQL 5.0.3</li>
</ul>
