Description
Slug Automator automatically generates slugs from WordPress post titles using the AI Client introduced in WordPress 7.0.
Writing post titles in any other non-English language? Slug Automator uses AI to translate them into clean, URL-friendly English slugs — no manual input required. Automatic generation on publish runs only when the slug field is empty, so any slug you’ve set manually is never overwritten. You can also generate or regenerate a slug on demand with the « Generate Slug » button in the block editor.
Because it relies on the WordPress AI Client, it works with any AI provider configured on your site (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and more).

Which AI service does this plugin use?
-
This plugin uses the WordPress AI Client (requires WordPress 7.0 or later). It works with any AI provider configured by the site administrator under Settings > Connectors.

Not automatically. Auto-generation on publish runs only when the slug field is empty. If you want to replace an existing slug, you can do so manually with the « Generate Slug » button in the block editor.
