<p>Smartify your post and page slugs and let them convey the very essence of your content’s titles by removing too short or insignificant stopwords – automatically, that is. <strong>Smart Slug</strong> comes preloaded with an easily expandable and configurable set of German, Dutch, Russian, Portuguese and English stopwords.</p>

<h4>Limitations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Smart Slug overrides all manual slug modifications which would violate its rule set, even if you are making them deliberately.</li>
<li>WordPress appends a unique number to ambigous slugs (e.g. hello-word, hello-world-2 et cetera). Smart Slug may not notice this behaviour when an article is saved for the first time. If this happens you may simply re-save the post to attach a smart slug.</li>
</ul>


Smart Slug

Smartify your post and page slugs by removing too short or insignificant stopwords automatically.

<p>With this plugin, administrators can change the default author base in the registered users profile url, and the author slug of each user.<br />
Changing an author slug is a good thing for security (if your login is “This Is Me”, your slug will be “this-is-me”, a bit easy to guess).<br />
The plugin adds 2 fields for this purpose, one in permalinks settings, the other in a user profile.</p>
<ul>
<li>Default: <em>example.com/author_base/author_nicename/</em></li>
<li>Customized: <em>example.com/jedi/obiwan/</em></li>
</ul>
<h4>How to edit the slugs</h4>
<ul>
<li>Go to <em>Settings</em> > <em>Permalinks</em> to edit the author base: “author” => “jedi”</li>
<li>Go to <em>Users</em> > <em>“Any user profile”</em> to edit the user slug: “agent-smith” => “obiwan”</li>
</ul>
