 * I love this plugin but find one thing we need is missing. Not sure if its a hard
   feature to add but…. you currently turn spaces into dashes (or WP does this).
   Is there a way you can give us a box for items we wish to ALSO be converted to
   a dash?
 * We seem to get a lot of images with underscores in them, and right now the only
   thing your plugin allows me to do is add the _ to the removal list, turning my_image.
   png into myimage.png
 * I’d love to be able to turn it into my-image.png
 * Just a wishful desire.

 * Hello [@grungyape](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grungyape/),
    I’ve updated
   the plugin to version 2.1.5 adding a new option (Convert characters to dash)
 * Can you please check it out?

 * This worked perfectly, thank you! I’m marking this closed.
 * A few comments to help prevent support issues.
 * A wording change:
    “Besides whitespaces, convert the following characters to 
   a dash. (Space separated)”
 * Also, if you have not, you will need a way to make sure that a character entered
   into the “convert” box above is not then removed by the “remove” section below.
 * You can handle this in a few ways (obviously your preference) but the easiest
   is to remove the “All non ASCII characters” option and just leave a text box 
   with the default remove items listed:
    `? + [ ] / \ = < > : ; , ' " & $ # * ()
   | ~` ! { } ¨ % @ ^`
 * Then include a note that says “Do not include characters in the remove box that
   are also in the replace option above”.
 * A more complex way is to actually check the characters in each box, and then 
   to give priority to the “convert” box if you see a duplicate.
 * Again, thank you!

 * Thank you, I’ll change that sentence.
 * But actually I think you don’t need to worry about the remove section. The characters
   will be replaced first and then it will be removed and not the opposite.
 * If you don’t mind to give me a good review I would really appreciate it
    🙂
