A URL slug is the unique address of a page or collection item on your website. Here's how to manage URL slugs effectively:

Finding URL Slugs

You can locate a page's URL slug through:

• Full preview mode (expand arrow in top corner)
• Private/incognito browsing
• Page/item settings menu

URL Formatting Guidelines

• Must be lowercase (uppercase causes 404 errors)
• Length: 3-250 characters for pages, 3-200 for blog posts/events
• Only hyphens (-) allowed as special characters
• Cannot reuse product URL slugs after deletion
• Must be unique across live pages

Reserved URL Slugs

Some slugs are reserved for system use, including:

• account
• api
• cart
• checkout
• search
• storage
• universal

Changing URL Slugs

To modify a page URL:

1. Open Pages panel
2. Hover over page and click Settings
3. Update URL Slug field
4. Save changes

Important: After changing URLs:

• Create 301 redirects from old to new URLs
• Update all internal links
• Check for broken links

Blog Post URLs

• Set default format using variables:
  • %t (title)
  • %m (month)
  • %d (date)
  • %y (year)
• Can be manually edited per post

Product URLs

Structure: /product-url

• Must use hyphens between words
• Cannot include additional slashes
• Cannot reuse deleted product URLs

Collection-Specific URLs

• Events: Based on event page slug + date + title
• Lessons: Course page URL + lesson title + random string
• Portfolio: Portfolio page URL + subpage title
• Videos: Videos page URL + /v/ + video title
• Gallery images: Can customize deep link URLs
