Overview

The WP Slug Interface is a feature in Directus that provides a similar slug/permalink interface to WordPress. It allows users to easily create and update slugs or permalinks for their content in the Directus App.

Features

• Easy Installation: The WP Slug Interface can be installed in your Directus installation root with just a few simple steps.
• Create and Update Options: Users have the ability to enable or disable automatic updates based on content changes. The “Create” option enables automatic updates when creating a new item, while the “Update” option enables automatic updates when editing an existing item.
