Permalinks have changed
-
Greetings,
We have recently had a very serious issue with our blog’s permalinks. They have somehow reverted back to the full page title URL. Almost all of our blogs have long titles and have been altered to remove the ‘stop words’ from the permalinks. Yesterday we noticed that all the links have changed to the full versions. We are at a loss. It’s affected several hundred posts and we have broken links everywhere. Please advise. Thanks.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

WordPress can’t remove ‘stop words’ on its own. You would’ve been using a plugin for this. I would contact its developers with your issue.
It doesn’t make any sense for hundreds of URLs to have changed at once. The only way this could happen is if all the posts were edited and saved with a new slug. The slug is stored in the database so it really shouldn’t be possible to change them all suddenly like that without intent.
The only other possibility I can thing of is that whatever plugin you were using wasn’t removing the stop words when the post was saved, but was doing it dynamically on every request somehow, and now that filtering has stopped. This seems like a really dumb way to go about this functionality though. Regardless, you’ll need to contact the developer of the responsible plugin to determine the cause.
