Slug
-
What is a slug ? How does it created and how can its contents be edited / modified ?
-
When you give a post, page, category, or tag a title, WordPress will generate a slug automatically.
The slug is the portion of the URL that refers to that specific page. Generally speaking, slugs tend to be very similar to the original title.
A slug will be different when the title contains certain characters, like spaces or currency symbols, as well as anything else that isn’t a letter or a number. In those cases, the special character is either replaced with its URL-friendly equivalent or left out of the slug entirely.
The most common substitution is in titles that have more than one word, separated by spaces. In that case, each space is replaced by a hyphen ( – ).
