Custom permalink for titleless posts

[asuh]

Custom permalinks for posts with a title could have the following options:

1. Excerpt - website.com/40_character_excerpt_goes_here
2. Post ID - website.com/123
3. Post DateTime - website.com/20190325151230
4. Random string - website.com/256472215

Number 2 is WordPress' default already but adds -2 when using a custom permalink structure of /%postname%/ so a rewrite of some kind is still desired there.

Brevity is better for UX which is my preference for 2. But all types are great.

Related, if a post kind is used that doesn't require a title, then a title should not be included in the fields. That would help hopefully with posting, potentially eliminating this issue all together.

@Cambridgeport90 I was fine with that... but many people weren't. I compromised by moving it in the UI

Ah. So the issue I’m having where posts under the recent posts widget without titles show up as (untitled) has nothing to do with the post kind?

@Cambridgeport90 They shouldn't, as I added the system that shows an excerpt when there is no title.

I’m using Autonomie, if that makes a difference. I think someone else noticed it long before I did, in fact; he contacted people about it. After all, I’m not sure whether or not the kinds are actually working for me at all. , though. I’ll post another issue with that stuff in it, though, so no worries.
