## 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 Japanese or any other non-English language? Slug Automator
uses AI to translate them into clean, English URL-friendly slugs — no manual input
required. Automatic generation runs on publish only when the slug field is empty,
so any slug you set yourself 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).

### Features

 * Automatically generates slugs from post titles via AI
 * Provider-agnostic — uses whichever AI provider is configured in WordPress
 * Works directly in the block editor

## Installation

 1. 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 only runs when the slug field is empty.
If you want to replace an existing slug, you can do so explicitly with the “Generate
Slug” button in the block editor.
