by refreshing them at regular intervals. This prevents 404 errors and maintains 
SEO integrity by ensuring your permalinks remain functional.

#### Why do you need this plugin?

 * Sites that frequently experience permalink issues
 * Large sites with many posts and pages
 * Sites with complex permalink structures
 * Sites that have migrated content or changed permalink settings
 * Sites that need consistent URL structure for SEO

#### Key Features

## Installation

 1. Upload the `permalink-keeper` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to Settings -> Permalink Keeper to configure update interval, post types, and
    batch size

## FAQ

### How often should I update the permalinks?

Recommended update interval depends on your site’s size and how often you update
content. For most sites, every hour or every 30 minutes is sufficient.

### Will this affect my site’s performance?

No, the plugin uses batch processing to limit the number of posts handled per cron
run. You can adjust the batch size in Settings to match your server’s capacity.

### Does the plugin support multilingualism?

Yes, the plugin currently supports:
 * English (en_US) * Norwegian Bokmål (nb_NO)*
Dutch (nl_NL) * German (de_DE) * French (fr_FR) * Italian (it_IT) * Spanish (es_ES)
