    When I click Edit for the permalink of a page I am working on, I am able to type in the extra word (-austin), then I can click OK and it looks like it is going to work. Then when I attempt to save the draft (I’m not yet ready to publish), it reverts back to the old permalink (without -austin).

    Not sure why this is happening. .. has not happened before. Don’t even know if its your theme, or something else, so I’m starting here.
    Ideas?

    Hey Jon,

    If it’s still a draft then WordPress will change the permalink according to the title, you can change the permalink to what you like once the page is published.

    Hi Rikard,
    I went ahead and published the page, but the permalink still will not keep the -austin addition when I update.

    it’s not happening on other pages, so that’s odd. I think I can just copy the contents of this page, delete the page, then re-create it with the new URL and title.

    Feel free to take a look though . . .it is definitely an odd behavior. May be interesting to learn what did it in case it happens to other folks.

    HA! Not sure how I left that out in the OP.
    It’s https://gatehealing.com/counseling-austin-tx/family-counseling/

    Thanks.
    I’m leaving it as-is for now while I wait to hear from seo company if having ausin in “counseling-austin-tx” and on teh family counseling url is too much.

    Hi Jon,

    Thanks for the update, so should we leave it as is until you know what you would like to do? Just to clarify, on the page you posted, you want to change the permalink from /family-counseling/ to /family-counseling-austin/?

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Yes to both questions. Let’s hold off on actually making the change, but yes, if I change it, it’ll be to /family-counseling-austin/

    SEO folks said it’s probably better to leave them as-is since I already have -austin in the parent page of /family-dynamics.

    We can close the thread. I can come back and re-post if this happens again, but I don’t think it will..

    Thanks y’all
