You can easily change a URL on WordPress. You can use the 'Get Shortlink' button to change a particular URL on your WP website, or you can use the 'Permalinks' feature to change all the URLs on your WordPress website.<\/p>\n

When you create a WordPress website, the links look something like this by default: 

 Javascript | <\/td><\/td> copy code |<\/td>?<\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
1<\/td>
http:<\/span>\/\/2slick.com\/?p=1234<\/pre><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/pre>. The '?' throws off certain search engines, and it's annoying to type or remember. Using Permalinks and Shortlinks you can make the same URL look like this 
 Javascript | <\/td><\/td> copy code |<\/td>?<\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
1<\/td>
http:<\/span>\/\/2slick.com\/about<\/pre><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/pre>. Below are examples on how to change the WordPress URL using the two methods.<\/p>\n
Every WordPress website owner should set up their permalinks option so that all the links on the site are attractive and\u00a0intuitive.<\/p>\n
WordPress custom link\u00a0Permalinks<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Log into your WordPress website.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on Settings.<\/li>\n
  3. Click on Permalinks.<\/li>\n
  4. Check the option 'Custom Structure' and enter your custom structure code in the field. I\u00a0recommend\u00a0using 
     Javascript | <\/td><\/td> copy code |<\/td>?<\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    1<\/td>
    \/%<\/span>postname%\/<\/span><\/pre><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/pre>
    \n\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Click the \"Save Changes' button.
    \nNow all your WordPress website links will be pretty and include the post and page name instead of '?p=123'.
    \nThe full list of custom structure variables:%year%<\/strong> -\u00a0The year of the post, four digits, for example\u00a02004<\/tt>
    \n%monthnum%<\/strong> -\u00a0Month of the year, for example\u00a005<\/tt>
    \n%day%<\/strong> -\u00a0Day of the month, for example\u00a028<\/tt>
    \n%hour%<\/strong> -\u00a0Hour of the day, for example\u00a015<\/tt>
    \n%minute%<\/strong> -\u00a0Minute of the hour, for example\u00a043<\/tt>
    \n%second%<\/strong> -\u00a0Second of the minute, for example\u00a033<\/tt>
    \n%post_id%<\/strong> -\u00a0The unique ID # of the post, for example\u00a0423<\/tt>
    \n%postname%<\/strong> -\u00a0A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug<\/em> field on Edit Post\/Page panel). So \u201cThis Is A Great Post!\u201d becomes\u00a0this-is-a-great-post<\/tt> in the URI.
    \n%category%<\/strong> -\u00a0A sanitized version of the category name (category slug<\/em> field on New\/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.
    \n%author%<\/strong> -\u00a0A sanitized version of the author name.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Log into your WordPress website.<\/li>\n
    2. Go to a page or post that you want to change the URL for.<\/li>\n
    3. When you arrive at your page or post you will see 'Permalink' just under the title field.<\/li>\n
    4. Click the 'Get Shortlink' button.<\/li>\n
    5. I\u00a0recommend\u00a0just changing the '?p=3291' portion of the link with letters and numbers characters.<\/li>\n
