Sohaus Clean Emoji Slugs
·
Removes emoji and special symbols from WordPress slugs while keeping them in post titles.
Sohaus Clean Emoji Slugs keeps WordPress permalinks clean when editors use emoji in post titles.
By default, WordPress may include emoji or encoded emoji characters in generated slugs. This plugin removes emoji, pictograms, dingbats, variation selectors and related characters from slugs while leaving the original title unchanged.
Example:
❤️ I love WordPress 🩸
Becomes:
i-love-wordpress
The plugin works automatically when a post, page or supported public post type is saved.
