is it possible to regenerate the slugs programmatically after changing the titles of the post? Numerous post titles were updated and the slug was not updated with the title so I need to regenerate all these slugs.
Yes, it is possible.
Sample code, has to be tested and refined:
// get all posts
$posts = get_posts( array ( 'numberposts' => -1 ) );
foreach ( $posts as $post )
{
// check the slug and run an update if necessary
$new_slug = sanitize_title( $post->post_title );
if ( $post->post_name != $new_slug )
{
wp_update_post(
array (
'ID' => $post->ID,
'post_name' => $new_slug
)
);
}
}
I just made this up, there are probably some errors and egde cases, but it should give you an idea. Also, this may take a while, so it could be useful to split the update into smaller chunks.
