SEO-friendly Product Category URL by XD is a plugin designed to optimize your WooCommerce product category URLs for SEO. By default, WooCommerce appends category names in product URLs. This plugin removes the category name from the URL if it matches the product name, making the URLs cleaner and more SEO-friendly.
Key Features: 
 – Removes category name from product URLs when it matches the product name. 
 – Ensures more SEO-friendly and shorter URLs for products. 
 – Works seamlessly with WooCommerce and custom product categories. 
 – Automatically filters and optimizes category and product URLs.
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ol>
<li>After activation, go to Settings > Permalinks in the WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li>Make sure the Category base is set to your preferred value (e.g., <code>/shop</code> or leave it blank).</li>
<li>The plugin will automatically start filtering and optimizing your product category URLs based on product names.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Before Activation: By default, WooCommerce product URLs may look like this:
example.com/product-category/category-name/product-name/
</li>
<li>
After Activation: If the product’s name matches the category name, the category name is removed:
example.com/product-name/
This makes your URLs more concise, cleaner, and SEO-friendly.
</li>
</ul>

NOTE: recent WordPress versions already properly transliterate umlauts if the 
site language is German. In that case, German Slugs is no longer needed.
While creating a post or page, WordPress automatically suggests a permalink. If 
your permalink structure contains the %postname% tag, then the title of your 
post or page will be used, simplified by conversion to lowercase, replacing 
spaces with hyphens, removing certain punctuation characters and removing 
diacritics from latin letters.
Thus, by default, ä is replaced with a, ö with o, ü with u and ß with s (similar 
for capital letters). For German, the conventional transliteration is ä to ae, ö 
to oe, ü to ue and ß to ss (sometimes sz in Austria, this is not yet supported). 
This plugin makes your WordPress apply the conventional transliteration.
I wrote this plugin because manually correcting WordPress’s suggestions is a 
considerable hassle, especially if you decide to change the title afterwards.

German Slugs

German Slugs properly transliterates umlauts and the letter ß appearing in titles for slugs (i.e. for pretty permalinks).
