Hello

Is there anyway to remove Hyphens in Links for the page names via permalinks for example

Jane_Smith to Jane Smith

Or is this to do with WordPress code only I was not sure if I could do something in GeneratePress CSS thought ask permission before hand and if there is some code could implement.

Thanks

Hi there,

do you mean in the post URL ?
If so Permalinks/URLs are handled by WP and you cannot have a spaces in the string.

Hi,

Thannks for your reply; I think I understand, it was to take out the hyphen and just have the full name in janesmith

Thought be sure to ask permission about the code and so forth.

You can use the wp_unique_post_slug filter to change the URL output:

Heres an example of it in use:

But i am unsure of the SEO impact of doing this – and i would suggest you speak with a developer who understands the implications.

Hope that helps.
