How to Manually Change Your Permalink (URL) for a Post or Page
1. Select the “Edit” button next to the permalink.
2. Change the “slug” and hit the "OK" button
FINAL RESULT
Check for Mistakes
Check carefully for spelling mistakes, remember to add hyphens between each word and do not add spaces or any funny characters.
How to Convert Back to the Original Permalink
If you want to convert back to the original permalink before you made the changes, you can just hit the “Edit” button again, delete everything and hit "OK".
You will also use this same method if you decide to change your post / page title and you want the permalink to reflect the new changes to the page/post title. (This is if you’re not going to customize the permalink).

Hello it's Taco Tuesday everyone!! Lol
So I just set up my second website for blogging and the content editing tools are not the same in my 2nd site as I have been using in my first site. I just upgraded to Premium a few days ago and I am a loss. I know this thread isn't about that topic but I couldn't find an article published relating to this issue.
Thanks Everyone!

Hi thank you for sharing this article. I have one question about it. Lets say I shared this link several times before I made changes will it affect the link in the other locations I shared prior to the change? It won't disappear will it or have an error? Thank you so much for your time.

Hi Rika, thank you so much for creating this training, it was exactly where I was looking for. Thank you!
Do I understand it correctly that I can't change the Permalink in WordPress before I publish my post? I always have to publish first and then change it?
I was thinking perhaps the other way I could do it is creating the title and permalink in WordPress and then publish it and put the post on draft or doesn't this make sense?
Is the manual way of changing the permalink in WordPress after publishing your content free of risks to get 404 errors or is there still a chance this can happen?
Looking forwards to hearing from you and thanks a lot for the training.
