What is the best way to manage a post title that could change multiple times?

[ad_1]

One of my clients is a news blog and they are converting to WordPress CMS from an old hand-coded LAMP stack.

The content editors are limited in their technical capabilities and their old / current workflow is to have an ID-based ugly permalink type URL which allows them to change the post name as often as they want. And my understanding is they could change post titles 2-4 times daily.

OTOH, I understand that pretty permalinks (where a sanitized post name becomes the slug) are much better for SEO.

So, I have a dilemma. It would seem that having the editors modify their workflow so that they don’t post until they have the title sorted out is too much to ask. What are my options? Is there a way to do this I’m not considering?

Not sure if this a how to or help request — seems like both

  1. Create a test site and try it out. Usually, with normal permalinks, changing the post title or slug is not a problem, because it automatically does a redirect for old slugs.
