What? What is a post slug?
It is the portion of a permalink that references the post. Example:
http://yoursite.com/archives/2004/02/15/this-is-a-post-title/
It allows you to override the default setting that sets “this-is-a-post-title” so that you could have it be “this_is_a_post_title” or whatever you wanted.
I haven’t seen a hack to do this? Is there one?
Thanks

It’s in the recent nightlies.
I must be blind 🙂 I have the latest but didn’t see that.

Its just in the edit-window, next to the excerpt-field.
Is there a way to achive the same without using mod_rewrite. Any ideas?
Thanks

nice! can’t wait for the next final then!
culturevulture, at the moment no. Unless you make WP store static files (good luck), you can only do this with mod_rewrite.
Wooo cool. Too bad all my google rankings are up there with dashes instead of underscores, otherwise I’d be all over that… 😛
Hi there,
I am getting a little confused – nothing new there 🙂 – Is there a global setting to do this or do we have to make the change very time we post.
I would like the underscore on all posts.
Thanks
Karl
cool thing. will the link address change if i edit the post heading some time later?
Not that ranking in Google is the be-all-end-all (or even all that much), but: while “my-post-title” is three words to Google, “my_post_title” is just junk, neither “my post title” nor “myposttitle”. So if you are aiming for maximum ranking, it’s best to avoid the underscores.
