redirecting after changing slugs

[Joseph Rivera]

Hi. We would like to change the Events and Single event URL slugs. Are there any best practices for this to ensure that there are no broken links for our single? Is it as simple as creating page redirects from the old urls to the new ones being generated.

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for reaching out!

You should be able to change the slugs for both the main events page and single event pages under Events > Settings > General Settings > “Events URL slug”/”Single event URL slug”. After saving your changes there, you’ll want to flush your permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “Save”. That should get everything changed for you!

Please let me know if this works or if I’ve misunderstood what you’re looking for. 🙂

Thanks,

Jennifer

I was able to change the event slugs. To answer my question, yes it was as simple as adding page redirects after changing the slugs.

Thank you!
