Nothing breaks. When you change a post's address, your shop remembers the old one and sends anyone who opens it to the new address with a permanent 301 redirect. Links in old Facebook posts, messages and Google results keep working.
Where to find it
You change the address in the post itself: Admin › Online store › Pages & blog › Blog posts, pencil icon of the post, box Address (slug) in Search (SEO). A staff member needs the Website pages & content tick.
The redirects made this way are listed in Admin › Online store › Auto SEO with AI › Redirects (needs the Website design tick).
How it works
Say Rangdhanu Fashion has a post at /blog/saree-care-tips and changes its address to saree-care-tips-winter.
- You type the new address in Address (slug) and press Save.
- The shop keeps
saree-care-tipsas an old address of that post. - Someone opens
/blog/saree-care-tipsfrom an old link. The shop answers 301 and opens/blog/saree-care-tips-winter. - Google sees the 301 and moves its result to the new address over time.
The old address points at the post itself. If you change the address again later, the first old address still lands on the newest one.
Good to know
- Changing the title does not change the address. Only the Address (slug) box does. Leaving it empty on an old post keeps the address it has.
- The address is tidied for you. Spaces become dashes and capitals become small letters. If another of your posts already uses it,
-2(or-3…) is added. - In the Redirects list these rows show the old
/blog/…address, the new one, the type Auto · 301, how many times the old address was opened (Hits) and when it was Last used. They have no edit or delete button; they are kept up to date by themselves. - Only your store. An old address works only on your own shop. Another store can use the same address for its own post without any mix-up.
- The post must be Published. An old address opens the post only while it is Published.
- Deleting a post removes its old addresses too, so they then show "page not found".
- If you give the old address to a new post, the new post opens there; the live page always comes first.
Common problems
- The old link shows "page not found". The post was deleted or is not Published. Publish it again, or add your own redirect to another page in Redirects.
- The redirect is not in the list. The address did not change: the box was left empty or the same address was typed again.
