Description
Slug Automator automatically generates slugs from WordPress post titles using the AI Client introduced in WordPress 7.0.
Writing post titles in Japanese or any other non-English language? Slug Automator uses AI to translate them into clean, English URL-friendly slugs — no manual input required. It only runs when the slug field is empty, so any slug you set yourself will never be overwritten.
Because it relies on the WordPress AI Client, it works with any AI provider configured on your site (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and more).
