## Description

ToSlug is a WordPress plugin that automatically generates URL slugs for posts. It
can create random alphanumeric or MD5-based slugs to help obscure predictable permalink
patterns.

#### Features

 * Automatically generate a random or MD5 slug when a new post is first saved
 * Configurable slug length (8-32 characters)
 * Optional setting to regenerate slugs on every post update
 * Choose which public post types are supported (Post, Page, and custom post types;
   attachments are excluded)
 * Track managed posts with post meta so existing content is not rewritten by accident
 * Sample slug preview on the settings page
 * Batched bulk processing with an ID cursor for larger sites
 * Cleans up options and managed-post markers on uninstall

## FAQ

### Will changing URL slugs affect SEO?

Yes, it can. Changing an existing post slug changes its public URL. Back up your
database before using “Reset existing slugs” or bulk-processing all posts.

### Which post types are supported?

Post, Page, and other public custom post types can be selected on the settings page.
Attachment is not listed.

### If “Reset existing slugs” is disabled, will old posts be changed?

No. The plugin only generates slugs for new posts, or posts that are still auto-
drafts / have an empty slug. Existing content keeps its slug during normal edits.
