Transliterate Arabic post and page titles into clean Latin WordPress slugs without overwriting manual permalinks.

== Description ==

Arabic Clean Permalinks helps Arabic WordPress sites create readable Latin slugs from Arabic post and page titles.

When a post or page is saved, the plugin can replace an empty or WordPress-generated Arabic slug with a clean Latin version. If a user has already edited the slug manually, the plugin leaves it unchanged.

The plugin works locally inside WordPress. It does not call any external service, does not add front-end assets, and does not collect analytics.

Built by the team behind Aetos SEO at NSR Elmtagr Digital Marketing.

Main features:

* Arabic-to-Latin transliteration for post and page titles.
* Automatic slug generation only when the slug is empty or still appears generated from the title.
* Manual "regenerate clean slug" button in the post/page editor.
* Settings for posts, pages, separator style, and WordPress old-slug redirects.
* Arabic and Persian digit support inside generated slugs.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/arabic-clean-permalinks/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" screen in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings > Arabic Clean Permalinks to review the options.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will this change slugs I typed manually? =

No. Automatic generation only runs when the slug is empty or still appears to be a WordPress-generated Arabic slug.

= Does this create redirects? =

When WordPress changes the slug of a published post, WordPress can store the previous slug as an old-slug redirect. The plugin includes a setting that controls whether plugin-generated changes keep that core redirect record.

= Does this send titles or URLs to a third-party service? =

No. All processing happens locally in WordPress.

= Does this support WooCommerce products or taxonomy terms? =

No. This first version is limited to posts and pages.

= Will it update all existing Arabic links after activation? =

No. Existing links are changed only when you explicitly regenerate and update an individual post or page. This avoids silently changing live URLs.

== Privacy ==

Arabic Clean Permalinks does not collect personal data, does not track users, and does not send data to external services.

== Screenshots ==

1. Native WordPress settings for content types, separator style, and old-slug redirects.
2. Arabic editor view with a generated Latin slug preview and manual regenerate action.
