## Description

Did you know that every time you change a URL (slug), WordPress remembers the old
one? It stores these in your database and automatically performs a 301 redirect 
to the new URL.

However, WordPress core has two major flaws:
 1. It provides no way to see this 
history in the admin dashboard. 2. It often fails to record history for hierarchical
Pages and certain Custom Post Types.

**Slug Trace** bridges this gap. It provides a simple, elegant interface to see 
every previous URL a post, page, or product has ever had. It also includes a « Universal
Tracker » that forces WordPress to remember slug changes for Pages and Custom Post
Types that are usually ignored by core.

 * **Universal Support:** Works with Posts, Pages, and any public Custom Post Type(
   CPT) like WooCommerce Products, Portfolio items, and more.
 * **View Hidden Redirects:** Instantly see which old URLs are still pointing to
   your current content.
 * **The « Page Fix »:** Adds a custom engine to ensure WordPress actually records
   slug history for hierarchical Pages—a feature missing from standard WordPress.
 * **SEO Audit Tool:** Perfect for checking if old backlinks are being redirected
   correctly after a site restructure.
 * **Ultra-Lightweight:** Written in clean, optimized PHP. No extra database tables
   and zero impact on site performance.

#### Recommended Plugins

The following plugins are recommended for users:

 * [WP Power Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-power-cache/) – A high-performance
   static page caching engine that generates HTML snapshots of your WordPress site
   for near-instant loading times.
 * [Ultimate Twitter Feeds](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-twitter-feeds/)–
   A lightweight plugin to display Twitter feeds. Fetch profiles, lists, or single
   tweets with customizable size, language and theme.
 * [Calculate Page Execution Time](https://wordpress.org/plugins/calculate-page-execution-time/)–
   Track page execution time easily. Just activate and view page source to see the
   loading time at the bottom. No configuration needed for WordPress.
 * [Facebook Page Feeds Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-pagelike-widget/)–
   With Facebook Page Feeds Widget, you can display your Facebook Page feeds on 
   your website quickly.

### Features

 * **Dynamic Detection:** Automatically detects all public post types on your site.
 * **Automatic Recording:** Starts tracking Page and CPT slug changes the moment
   you activate it.
 * **Clean UI:** No cluttered settings pages. It integrates natively into the Gutenberg(
   Block Editor) and Classic Editor sidebars.
 * **Developer Friendly:** Uses native `_wp_old_slug` meta keys for maximum compatibility.

## Captures d’écrans

 * [[
 * The Slug History meta box appearing in the editor sidebar, displaying previous
   URLs.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `slugtrace` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Open any editor (Post, Page, or CPT) and look for the « Slug History » box in the
    sidebar.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin create redirects?

No. WordPress handles the actual redirection. This plugin ensures the history is
recorded and makes it visible to you.

### Does it support WooCommerce?

Yes! It will automatically show slug history for Products and other public custom
post types.

### Can I delete old slugs with this?

This version is « view-only » to keep it safe and lightweight.
