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.
For example, when you publish a post with a title like this:
“How to Improve SEO Rank”,
WordPress automatically assigns a long filename to your post, called a post permalink:
/how-to-improve-seo-rank
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:
/improve-seo-rank
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.

Permalink Manager Lite

It works like charm. But need another plugin to edit the author slug. It would be best if there were an author slug edit option.

Great Plugin, But would be best if there were author slug edit option

Great plugin, easy to use


I tried to convince my client that his "simple request" was a total nightmare that might cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to solve. 



Then I installed Permalink Manage Lite and was finished in about 3.9 seconds 😅 



10/10 would recommend.


Love at first site

Permalink Manager Lite by Maciej Bis is absolutely fantastic! With 100k+ installs and a perfect 5-star rating from 173 reviews, it's clearly the gold standard for URL management. Unlike WordPress's limited slug editing, this lets you customize entire URLs however you want. 

The automatic redirects from old URLs are a lifesaver for SEO. Works flawlessly with WooCommerce, Yoast, and WPML too. Bulk editing saves hours of work, and the ability to remove parent slugs creates cleaner URLs. Maciej keeps it updated regularly - this plugin is essential!

The Ultimate WordPress URL Control Plugin

Permalink Manager enhances WordPress’s built-in URL system, allowing you to change the URLs of native and custom post types and taxonomies.
