[WordPress] Remove Stopwords for Better SEO

[Rocke]

I found this when googling about pluginless solution for cleaning up your post/page titles from stopwords. on the themes function.php file, before the closing ( ?> ), add this code snippet.

add_filter('sanitize_title', 'remove_false_words');
function remove_false_words($slug) {
    if (!is_admin()) return $slug;
    $slug = explode('-', $slug);
    foreach ($slug as $k => $word) {
        //false words list separated for commas
        $keys_false = 'a,about,above,across,after,again,against,all,almost,alone,along,already,also';
        $keys = explode(',', $keys_false);
        foreach ($keys as $l => $wordfalse) {
            if ($word==$wordfalse) {
            unset($slug[$k]);
            }
        }
    }
    return implode('-', $slug);
} 

you can get list of stop words anywhere on the internet.

Note: This will automatically change your old posts url only if you edit them, so you don't have to worry about 404 errors
