Short answer
Go to Pages or Posts in your WordPress admin, click on the page you want to change, and edit the URL under «Permalink» in the right column. Click «Update» to save.
Permalinks (permanent links) are the URLs to your pages and posts in WordPress. A good URL structure is important for both SEO and usability . In this guide, we’ll show you how to change the URLs on existing pages and posts.
1
Log in to WordPress
Go to dinside.no/wp-admin and log in with your username and password.
2
Find the page or post
In the left menu, click Pages to edit a page, or Posts to edit a blog post. Find and click the title of the content you want to change the URL for.
3
Edit the permalink
In the edit view, look in the right column under «Permalink» or «URL slug» . Click on it to edit.
Tips for good URLs:
- • Use lowercase letters
- • Use hyphens between words (not spaces)
- • Keep it short and descriptive
- • Include important keywords
4
Save your changes
After you enter the new URL, click «Update» (or «Publish» for new pages) to save the changes.
Important: Set up forwarding
When you change a URL, the old link will stop working. If the page has been indexed by Google or shared on social media, you should set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. This preserves SEO value and prevents 404 errors.
