Install and You’re done!

I was looking for alternative solutions to editing an .htcaccess file or adding code to a server. Just a light weight, quick solution!

Super easy redirect to lowercase url

Excellent Plugin I Use on 150 Websites
by Kondor with a K·10 years ago

I recommended using WP Force Lowercase URLs on all of my employer’s websites hosted at WPEngine. We ended up mass-installing the plugin on more than 150 websites using WordPress 4.3 and WordPress 4.4. It’s truly an excellent plugin and does exactly what the name says. I really appreciate the work that went into creating this easy fix for a big problem. Thanks Josh!

Clean Solution
by tylerbuchea·10 years ago

This plugin is awesome, it does one thing very well (that should be built into WordPress anyway!) and isn’t bloated with a million features. Highly recommended.
