Rename a page or change its URL without breaking links

Change the name or URL

1. In the editor, click the settings button at the top left. Page settings opens.
2. Edit page name (not visible to users) or page url.
3. Click Update. The change is live at once, even on a published page.

Keep old links working

Pixelesq doesn't redirect the old URL for you. Add a redirect from the old URL to the new one, so links and search results still work. See Redirect an old URL to a new page.

When you ask Pixel to change a URL, it offers to add the redirect.

Limits

• URLs start with / and use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
• Two pages, entries or redirects can't share a URL.
• Pages made from a collection entry change their URL from the entry.
• URLs can't be changed while you're offline.

Common questions

What does "Slug already exists. Try another slug." mean?

Another page uses that URL. Pick a different one.

What does "A redirect already sends ... elsewhere" mean?

A redirect uses that URL. Remove the redirect, or pick another URL.

Why does it say the URL is reserved?

URLs that end in /page/ and a number are kept for pages of a list, such as /blog/page/2. URLs that start like a collection's, such as /blog, are kept for that collection. Pick another URL.

What does "This page belongs to a collection entry. Change its address from the entry." mean?

The page is made from an entry. Open the entry in its collection and change the URL there.
