Rename a page or change its address

A page’s name shows in the builder. Google and the browser tab use it too, unless you type an SEO title. Its address is the last part of its web address, like /plan-your-visit/. You change both in Page settings.

Rename a page

1. In the panel on the left, under Pages, point to the page. A gear appears beside it.
2. Click the gear. Page settings opens.
3. Type the new name in Page title.
4. Click Save.
5. Click Publish to put the change on your live site. See Publish your site.

Note

A new name does not change the page’s address, and it may not change its label in your header menu. To change a menu label, open Menus. See Change your menus.

Change a page’s address

1. Open the page’s Page settings from the gear.
2. Type the new address in Slug. Use lowercase words joined by hyphens, like fifth-sunday-singing. Under the box, you see the whole address.
3. Click Save.
4. Click Publish.

If the page was already on your live site, the old address forwards to the new one. Anyone who follows an old link, from a bulletin, a Facebook post or Google, lands on the right page. Save says “Its old address now forwards to the new one. Publish to put that in place.”

Caution

Your site keeps forwards for its 200 most recent address changes. Past 200, the oldest one stops forwarding, and the builder tells you so. Change addresses only when you need to.

Your homepage’s address is always your main address, so its Slug is not used. It is kept in case another page becomes the homepage. See Help a page show up on Google.

If it does not work

• “Another page is already called …”: Two pages cannot share a name. Give this one a different name.
• “That address was already in use, so this page is at /…/ instead.”: Another page, or a part of your site like /sermons/ or /blog/, already has that address. The builder added a number. Type a different slug if you want.
• The old address does not forward: The forward goes live when you publish. A page that was never on your live site has no old address to forward.
