Title: Slug Automator Author: Toro_Unit (Hiroshi Urabe) Published: May 11, 2026 Last modified: June 19, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/slug-automator/assets/icon.svg?rev=3537696) # Slug Automator By [Toro_Unit (Hiroshi Urabe)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/toro_unit/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/slug-automator.0.5.1.zip) * [Details](https://vec.wordpress.org/plugins/slug-automator/#description) * [Reviews](https://vec.wordpress.org/plugins/slug-automator/#reviews) * [Installation](https://vec.wordpress.org/plugins/slug-automator/#installation) * [Development](https://vec.wordpress.org/plugins/slug-automator/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slug-automator/) ## Description Slug Automator automatically generates slugs from WordPress post titles using the [AI Client](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/03/24/introducing-the-ai-client-in-wordpress-7-0/) 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).

Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/slug-automator` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Make sure an AI provider is configured under **Settings > Connectors** in WordPress. ## FAQ ### 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**. ### Does it overwrite slugs I have already set? 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. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2e500695efc100122c68bdedb244ece6b4c0a5e9644c2a1f684bcc4f0bde46eb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[日本語のサイト全部に入れたほうがいい](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/%e6%97%a5%e6%9c%ac%e8%aa%9e%e3%81%ae%e3%82%b5%e3%82%a4%e3%83%88%e5%85%a8%e9%83%a8%e3%81%ab%e5%85%a5%e3%82%8c%e3%81%9f%e3%81%bb%e3%81%86%e3%81%8c%e3%81%84%e3%81%84/)󠁿 [Mayo Moriyama](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mayukojpn/) June 18, 2026 パーマリンクに日本語タイトルがそのまま入ってしまうのをやめられるプラグイン。サイト によってはスラッグのかわりに数字を使っているところも見かけますが、SEO的にも意味の あるURLであるほうがいいはずなので、とても便利だと思いました。 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7521a539b8b06c2931461d628b0b91b174da0014cacba3029b8945b753558389? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A smart and must-have plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-smart-and-must-have-plugin/)󠁿 [bissy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bissy/) June 18, 2026 Why hasn’t there been a plugin like this until now? (Well, it’s because AI connectors didn’t exist yet…) This is exactly what everyone, especially non-English speaking users, has been looking for. Simply by enabling this, messy slugs become beautiful. If you don’t like the result, you can try again with the regenerate button. You no longer need to use ID-based permalinks just to have clean slugs. Non-English speakers don’t have to struggle with manual translations anymore either. It is an incredibly simple and powerful plugin. I highly recommend everyone give it a try. You will probably want to install it on every single one of your sites.
