<p>Strict Permalinks does two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Restricts the <code>post_name</code> portion of the permalink to alphanumerics and hyphens</li>
<li>Disables permalink editing once a post is published</li>
</ol>
<p>Like me, you may have been under the impression that post slugs are already restricted to alphanumerics and hyphens. In the current WordPress 2.8.5, a title that includes certain kinds of punctuation (e.g., “smartquotes”) will result in URL-encoded characters in the <code>post_name</code> field. Many browsers handle this oddity seamlessly, however this may cause difficulties when integrating with systems expecting a more limited URL syntax.</p>
<h3>Upgrade</h3>
<ol>
<li>Use the plugin updater in WordPress or…</li>
<li>Delete the previous <code>strict-permalinks</code> folder from the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Upload the new <code>strict-permalinks</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
</ol>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>In all cases the <code>post_title</code> to <code>post_name</code> conversion (i.e., the <code>sanitize_title</code> filter) will be limited to a-z, 0-9 and hyphens (-).</li>
<li>If a post is not yet published, the permalink can be edited as usual.</li>
<li>Once a post is published, the permalink editing interface is disabled.</li>
</ol>


Strict Permalinks

Restricts permalink syntax and disables permalink editing after a post is published.

<p>This is a tool to understand your rewrite rules (“Pretty Permalinks”). It is indispensable if you are adding or modifying rules and want to understand how they work (or why they don’t work).</p>
<p>It is only an analyzer, it does not change any rules for you. It parses the rules down to their components and shows the connection with the resulting query variables. It allows you to try out different URLs to see which rules will match and what the value of the different query variables will be (see screenshots).</p>
<p>This plugin was written as a tool to help answering questions about rewrite rules on <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">the WordPress Stack Exchange</a>.</p>


Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer

Throws a warning if WP_DEBUG is on, other than that still a very handy tool to check your rewrite rules.
