How to automatically update the permalinks?

To automatically update the post/term permalink you need to enable “Auto-update permalinks” option in Permalink Manager settings.

If you would like to use an actual title instead of native slug (post name) you need to enable also “Force custom slugs” mode:

After that every time you save/update the post and the post title is changed, the custom permalink will be updated and “Default URI” applied:

With “Force custom slugs” mode enabled the default URI uses the current title – “Johnny Doe” instead of native slug “John Doe”,

You can also override this setting from Permalink Manager URI Editor for each post and term if you would like to exclude certain items from general settings.
