Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### How do I change the minimum string length per slug word? By use of the lh_better_slugs_min_chars filter, just return a number other than 3 (the default). ### How do I change the stopwords which are removed from the slug? By use of the lh_better_slugs_stopwords filter, just return an array of the words you wish to block. ### What are the limitations? * LH Better Slugs overrides slugs whivh violate its rule set, however you can override them later. * WordPress appends a unique number to ambigous slugs (e.g. hello-word, hello-world- 2 et cetera). LH Better Slugs may not notice this behaviour when an article is saved for the first time. If this happens you may simply re-save the post. ### What is something does not work? LH Better Slugs, and all [https://lhero.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-better-slugs/LocalHero?output_format=md) plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones). If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfirteen, twentysixteen etc. If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-better-slugs/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-better-slugs/).
