Updating a product title should automatically update the product slug
Is this possible that whenever we update a product title the slug gets automatically adjusted? Thanks
This is not the default behavior in WordPress. You could write your own logic on the following hook and always change it on a post save:
Or if you want to be more precise, you could change it manually after the value is saved with our Inline Edit feature with the following hook:

Hi Stefan,
I tried as below but then when I want to Add New Line, it causes some conflicts in your plugin.
Any help? Thanks
function update_woocommerce_product_slug( $post_id ) {
// Check if this is a WooCommerce product and not an autosave
if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) === ‘product’ && ! wp_is_post_autosave( $post_id ) && ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) {
// Get the product title
$product_title = get_the_title( $post_id );
// Generate a new slug from the product title
$new_slug = sanitize_title( $product_title );
// Update the post slug if it is different
wp_update_post( array(
‘ID’ => $post_id,
‘post_name’ => $new_slug
) );
}
}
add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘update_woocommerce_product_slug’ );
The issue is that the code is creating a loop (not related to our plugin ;) )
calling wp_update_post triggers the ‘save_post’ hook again.
You could check if the name is different and only then update the post.
You can closr this ticket thanks
