This plugin allows you to use longer URLs (permalinks), by allowing much more characters in your titles and slug. The important is that this is done in a way that is future compatible with WordPress core updates.
There is a 200 characters limitation on WordPress core nowadays and this limit is raised to 3000 with the plugin.
Plugin is always extending the current WordPress core code – your long URLs will work even after WordPress core updates.
This plugin is really useful especially in non-latin slugs because of the required url escaping that increases the length of your permalinks a lot.
Noice! 👍
Excellent plugin, simply works!
I was looking for a solution on Google, and I could not find something to help me increase the 20-character limit on blog post URLs. I found this plugin and I activated it, and it immediately solves my problem. So thank you!
I just wonder why WP devs still haven’t fixed this.
Work Great! with WP All Import & Greek
