<p>Chinese characters don’t come out good in permalinks. Without the Pinyin Slugs plugin activated, the example post I made for the screenshot will get a slug like this: <em>%e6%90%9c%e7%b4%a2%e5%bc%95%e6%93%8e%e4%bc%98%e5%8c%96</em>. With the plugin the slug automatically becomes <em>sousuoyinqingyouhua</em>.</p>
<p>Search engines such as <a href="https://www.baidu.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Baidu</a> cannot make much of the first slug, but they can handle pinyin perfectly, especially when it is written as one long string without hyphens or underscores.</p>
<p>It is possible to limit the amount of characters in the slug. The default is 100, which should be plenty for most.</p>
<p>The Pinyin Slugs plugin was forked from the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/pinyin-permalink/" rel="ugc">Pinyin Permalinks</a> plugin by user <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/xiaole_tao/" rel="nofollow ugc">xiaole_tao</a> as that project seemed abandoned. There have been many improvements since; read the changelog for details.</p>
<p>I have decided to only support this plugin through <a href="https://github.com/senlin/pinyin-slugs/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue over at Github. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ISSUES VIA THE WORDPRESS FORUMS</strong></p>
<p>Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.</p>
