Edit a page URL (slug)

The URL for a specific page is called a slug, which you can edit or shorten to make it more easily discoverable to your site visitors.

A URL slug is the exact address of a specific page or post on your site. uConnect automatically assigns a URL slug for each new page, post, or collection item based on its title.

For example, if you create a custom page titled "Science and Research," its automatic URL slug is http://www.sitename.universityname.edu/science-and-research.

For marketing purposes, you may wish to edit a slug by shortening it or bringing it into alignment with similar pages. For example, the slug of the Marketing Consulting Club could be shortened from /marketing-consulting-club to /mcc. You can edit slugs for both Communities and Custom Pages. 

Please Note: There are certain Community page URL slugs that you cannot edit or change, such as your "Student" community which may have a different name like "Undergraduate Students." We cannot edit this URL because it is tied to your Student stakeholder group and user type in the platform. See screenshot below:
