<p>The SEO Permalinks Modifier plugin help to remove common words like ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘to’, ‘what’ from post slugs to improve search engine optimization performance for your wordpress site.</p>
<p>For example, when you publish a post with a title like this:</p>
<p>“How to Improve SEO Rank”,</p>
<p>WordPress automatically assigns a long filename to your post, called a post permalink:</p>
<p>/how-to-improve-seo-rank</p>
<p>SEO Slugs plugin strips common words like “how”, “to” out of your post permalink to make it more search engine friendly. With SEO Permalinks Modifier plugin activated, the permalink for our example blog post would look like this:</p>
<p>/improve-seo-rank</p>
<p>The permalink is generated on saving a post (so you get a chance to look at it before publishing, and change it), or on publish. It won’t overwrite an existing permalink. You can force a new permalink generation by deleting the existing one.</p>

<p>Backwards Compatible Permalinks helps prevent 404 errors when switching between permalink structures.</p>
<p>It achieves this by appending a set of backwards compatible post rewrite rules. This ensures posts are still accessible at their previous permalink after the permalink structure is updated.</p>
<h4>Example</h4>
<p>Let’s say your permalink structure is set to “Month and name” and you have a post titled “I Love WordPress.” That particular post would live at <code>https://example.com/2019/03/i-love-wordpress/</code>.</p>
<p>But what if you wanted to switch to the “Post name” permalink structure and have your post live at <code>https://example.com/i-love-wordpress/</code> instead?</p>
<p>You could but this would result in the existing post permalink 404ing when visited. Which is problematic if the previous URL was bookmarked or shared on social media.</p>
<p>With Backwards Compatible Permalinks installed your post would be accessible at both the old and new permalink structures:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>https://example.com/2019/03/i-love-wordpress/</code></li>
<li><code>https://example.com/i-love-wordpress/</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Caveats</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin does not work retroactively. i.e. you must have the plugin installed and activated prior to switching permalink structures before backwards compatibility will work.</li>
<li>Currently only standard posts are supported.</li>
<li>Backwards compatibility is not supported between certain permalink structure updates. This is due to a clash between permalink structure regex matching.</li>
<li>Backwards compatibility is only provided between the most recent permalink structure update. i.e. you cannot change your permalink structure 3 times and have backwards compatibility across all 3 structures.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Deactivate or uninstall</h4>
<p>After deactivating or uninstalling this plugin please ensure you visit Settings > Permalinks in the WordPress admin area to flush your rewrite rules.</p>
