How to transform the url when there is an apostrophe in the Title?

[ad_1]

Hello friends of Reddit and WordPress!

*Maybe a Stupid question but I prefer to be fixed because being a beginner and learning alone I often make mistakes,)*

When I write the title of my page in French: ” Qu’est-ce que le HHC ?”

the url is “transformed” like this for my site:

[https://wikihhc.com/faq/quest-ce-que-le-hhc/])

​

but I don’t like the “quest” so I modify the permalink to have:

[https://wikihhc.com/faq/qu-est-ce-que-le-hhc/])

(So far nothing very complicated lol)

​

Thus the fact of transforming “quest” into “qu-est” I find that it is more readable like that.

Also in the case of a title beginning with ” c’est quoi? ” for the url I prefer

“c-est-quoi” to “cest-quoi”. .

Does that make sense to you too?

Does this have any influence for Seo?

​

**And especially how to avoid having to manually change my url each time there is an apostrophe in the title of my page/article? To change the ‘ in – ( and not a merge of words)**

​

I tried with these 2 codes (each in turn) in my functions.php file, but it didn’t work:

>function custom\_permalink\_filter($permalink, $post, $leavename) {
>
>$permalink = str\_replace(“‘”, ‘-‘, $permalink);
>
>return $permalink;
>
>}
>
>add\_filter(‘post\_link’, ‘custom\_permalink\_filter’, 10, 3);
>
>add\_filter(‘page\_link’, ‘custom\_permalink\_filter’, 10, 3);
>
>add\_filter(‘post\_type\_link’, ‘custom\_permalink\_filter’, 10, 3);

​

>function custom\_sanitize\_title($title) {
>
>$title = str\_replace(“‘”, ‘-‘, $title);
>
>return $title;
>
>}
>
>add\_filter(‘sanitize\_title’, ‘custom\_sanitize\_title’, 10, 1);
>
>add\_filter(‘sanitize\_title\_with\_dashes’, ‘custom\_sanitize\_title’, 10, 1);

**Thanks in advance for reading this far! and for your help and kindness 📷**
