Yesterday, I created a WordPress plugin for MegaStar CINeBLOG to help them build a nicer permalinks which is automatically generated from a post title by removing all Vietnamese accents.
I’ve used WordPress for 3 years but honestly, it’s my first WordPress plugin :). It’s so simple but do a great job, useful & friendly for SEO and easy for people to read.
If you guys have no experiences on creating a WordPress plugin and want to start one, before you do anything, please read the guideline from WordPress on Writing a Plugin first because there are some rules/standards you need to follow.
I’ll paste all my plugin source code below because it just includes 1 php named: “remove-vietnamese-accents.php” file which contains some code line:
[php] <?php/*
