# Slugs Manager Settings and Options Reference

This reference lists every setting on the [Slugs Manager: Delete Old Permalinks from WordPress Database](https://wpfactory.com/item/slugs-manager-wordpress-plugin/) admin page, with its stored option ID, default value, and whether it is free or Pro. All of it lives on one page at **WPFactory > Slugs Manager**.

### Old Slugs (free)

The Old Slugs table lists every `_wp_old_slug` record in the database. There is no stored option here, just actions:

| Action | What it does | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Remove selected old slugs | Deletes the `_wp_old_slug` records for the rows you tick. | Free |
| Remove all old slugs | Deletes every `_wp_old_slug` record in the database. | Free |
| Refresh list | Rescans the database and reloads the table. | Free |

### Automatic Clean Ups (Pro)

| Setting | Option ID | Values | Default | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Scheduled Clean Ups | `alg_remove_old_slugs_cron_interval` | Disabled, Every minute, Hourly, Twice daily, Daily, Weekly | Disabled | Pro |
| Clean Up on Save Post | `alg_remove_old_slugs_on_save_post_enabled` | No, Yes | No | Pro |

### Regenerate Slugs (Pro)

| Setting | Option ID | Default | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Post types to regenerate | `alg_sm_regenerate_slugs_post_types` | Post | Pro |

The post-type selector is built from every searchable post type on your site, so the exact options depend on what is registered (posts, pages, attachments, products, and any custom post types). Regenerate rebuilds the current slug from the post title; there is no undo.

### Extra Tools (free)

| Tool | What it does | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Flush Rewrite Rules | Removes and recreates WordPress rewrite rules. | Free |

For step-by-step guides, see [the Slugs Manager documentation](https://wpfactory.com/docs/slugs-manager-wordpress-plugin/).
