This plugin allows you to use longer URLs (permalinks), by allowing much more characters in your titles and slug. The important is that this is done in a way that is future compatible with WordPress core updates. There is a 200 characters limitation on WordPress core nowadays and this limit is raised to 3000 with the plugin. Plugin is always extending the current WordPress core code – your long URLs will work even after WordPress core updates. This plugin is really useful especially in non-latin slugs because of the required url escaping that increases the length of your permalinks a lot.

Frequently asked questions.
What can I do with this plugin?
You can enjoy a lot more characters in your slugs and permalinks, without the default core limitation and have future core compatibility at the same time.
What do you mean by “future core compatibility”?
The plugin is using PHP reflection to dynamically apply the required changes in WordPress core every time you update your WordPress. It automatically detects any WordPress updates and reapplies the required changes anytime this is needed.
