=== Pinyin Slugs ===

Transforms Simplified or Traditional Chinese character titles into Pinyin to create a permalink friendly slug.

== Description ==

Chinese characters don't come out good in permalinks. Without the Pinyin Slugs plugin activated, the example post I made for the screenshot will get a slug like this: *%e6%90%9c%e7%b4%a2%e5%bc%95%e6%93%8e%e4%bc%98%e5%8c%96*. With the plugin the slug automatically becomes *sousuoyinqingyouhua*.

Search engines such as [Baidu](https://www.baidu.com) cannot make much of the first slug, but they can handle pinyin perfectly, especially when it is written as one long string without hyphens or underscores.

It is possible to limit the amount of characters in the slug. The default is 100, which should be plenty for most.

The Pinyin Slugs plugin was forked from the [Pinyin Permalinks](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pinyin-permalink/) plugin by user [xiaole_tao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xiaole_tao/) as that project seemed abandoned. There have been many improvements since; read the changelog for details.

I have decided to only support this plugin through [Github](https://github.com/senlin/pinyin-slugs/issues). Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue over at Github. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.

**PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ISSUES VIA THE WORDPRESS FORUMS**

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does Pinyin Slugs work with Simplified Chinese characters? =

Yes, the plugin transforms Simplified Chinese slugs into pinyin.

Yes, since September 2020 the plugin also can transform Traditional Chinese slugs into pinyin.

= Does Pinyin Slugs work with the WP block editor? =

Yes, it does, although one caveat is that to be able to see the change of slug, the post/page first needs to be saved. The same applies for edits.

= Known Issues =

Pinyin Slugs will not auto-transform existing slugs, you will have to change them manually.
