About Longer Permalinks

This plugin allows you to have longer URLs (permalinks) on your WordPress website by increasing the character limit from 200 to 3000. It also ensures that your long URLs will still work even after WordPress core updates. This is especially useful for non-latin slugs that require url escaping and increase the length of permalinks.
