 * I just posted a blog post.
 * [http://www.thevoiceforlove.com/community/difference-between-jesus-and-holy-spirit/](http://www.thevoiceforlove.com/community/difference-between-jesus-and-holy-spirit/)
 * The title of the post is: The Difference Between Jesus and the Holy Spirit
 * Within the WordPress admin for that post, that title was listed at the top of
   the page and in the SEO Title area below the blog post. However, I had to manually
   edit the perm link to shorten the URL. The stopwords were not automatically removed.
   Before manually changing it, and this is after repeatedly saving the draft blog
   post, the URL was:
 * /community/the difference-between-jesus-and-the-holy-spirit/
 * So I decided to remove the words “the”at the beginning and the middle of the 
   URL. I decide to keep the word “and” in there. But it didn’t look like any stopwords
   were automatically being removed. So in this initial test, it doesn’t seem like
   this update removed any stopwords.
 *  Was I supposed to do something specifically to have the stop words removed?

 * Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I had other developments going
   on with my blog and I couldn’t really test anything until some of the issues 
   were resolved. I’m not 100% sure if it’s working or not. What is the best way
   to test?
 * For example, I have 2 blog posts that are currently in draft format. The title
   of one is: In Giving We Receive
 * The URL is: [http://www.thevoiceforlove.com/community/in-giving-we-receive/](http://www.thevoiceforlove.com/community/in-giving-we-receive/)
 * I would have thought that some of those little words would’ve been removed as
   stop words.
 * Another draft blog post has this title: The Constancy of God’s Love
 * The URL is: /the-constancy-of-gods-love/
 * I don’t see any stopwords being removed in these 2 examples. So how can I tell
   if the plug-in is working? It doesn’t seem to be in these examples.
 * Thank you.

 * I have 1.1.3 installed. I thought it was the latest since I haven’t been prompted
   to upgrade the plug-in within WordPress. I was under the impression that I would
   be automatically prompted to upgrade the plug-in when a new update was released.
   I just noticed that the latest version is 1.1.6. However, I don’t see any upgrade
   instructions. If I download the latest version and simply copy the new folder
   to the plug-ins directory, will I lose my current settings/ configuration? How
   do I upgrade from 1.1.3 to 1.1.6 without losing my current settings?
 * Thank you.
