Hello,
I have a site that was originally built with another theme, and with WPBakery. Now I switched to Enfold but I have a problem with permalinks. Before now I went to WPBakery’s permalink manager and changed the permalink, but now I can’t do it anymore, I go to Permalink Manager, Custom Permalink, change the permalink, save and then update, but the permalink doesn’t change. I installed Permalink Manager Lite to remove the “portfolio/articles” prefix from the permalink but that doesn’t work anymore either. I also wrote to WP support because I don’t understand who the problem depends on.Hey Intercettazioni,
You can change the permalink for each page or post if you select to edit it. The general permalink structure can be changed under Settings->Permalinks.
Best regards,
RikardHi Rickard,
I tried to change permalink in all the ways I know (as described in the post) but nothing. With WPBakery I used to change them easily, I don’t understand. I necessarily have to edit some permalinks before google penalizes meHi,
So what exactly are you looking to change? If you meant to give us login details, then you forgot to post a user name.
Best regards,
RikardHi RikardI
I need to change some permalinks that I have previously created and sent to Google by Search Console and that have now been automatically changed by Enfold. I am actually not able to change the permalink manually. This is necessary of course for not loosing ranking. I have also previously downloaded the Permalink Manager Light Plugin to be able to remove the suffix /portfolio-articles/ but, the plugin was actually working with another theme (Bridge) and does not work with Enfold
As an example, the current page is https://intercettazioni.biz/portfolio-articoli/cellulari-spia-android-pronti/
but it should be brought back to: https://intercettazioni.biz/cellulari-spia-android-telefono-spia/Hi,
Portfolio is a custom post type, that is why it has its own slug. If you want it as a regular post or page, then move the content to either of those types instead. The theme doesn’t change any permalinks without user interaction.
Best regards,
RikardHi Rikard,
you wrote: “The theme doesn’t change any permalinks without user interaction.”. Well, I have tried changing just a few words of the permalink unsuccessfully. Basically, when I try to change it, it looks like if it was changed but it is not actually saved. As an example, the current page is https://intercettazioni.biz/portfolio-articoli/cellulari-spia-android-pronti/ but it should be brought back to: https://intercettazioni.biz/cellulari-spia-android-telefono-spia/. I changed the last word “pronti” to “telefono spia” but the word cannot be changed, maybe I misunderstood and Portfolio doesn’t change the permalinks at all? What happens if I upload the products in Articles? What is the difference between Portfolio and Article management? I need to restore the permalinks as they are currently indexed by Google otherwise I’ll lose everything.
First the permalink structure had to be set to what you like to have on : dashboard – settings – permalinks ( and for portfolio look to the Portfolio Entry Settings below that fields ) – all portfolios will be in that permalink structure. So first you had to adjust the structure there !
then the addendum nomenklatur. If there exists allready a:
https://intercettazioni.biz/cellulari-spia-android-telefono-spia/
you can not rename the
https://intercettazioni.biz/portfolio-articoli/cellulari-spia-android-pronti/
to it !
Be aware that for the Database a post do exist – even if it is inside the trash/bin !!
So if it is that way – you first had to empty the trash !Thank you for answering, please find the following:
1. The permalink setting should be correct, see https://img.savvyify.com/image/p0w5
2. The trash is empty
3. What I see in your second figure (edit page) is not actually present in the draft https://img.savvyify.com/image/pDuf even in published posts https://img.savvyify.com/image/phOa
4. In draft I am not allowed to change the permalinks https://img.savvyify.com/image/pk2K even if the setting is correct https://img.savvyify.com/image/pILl
5. In Permalink Manager where I could change the permalink once published, I cannot actually do it, it does not work. https://img.savvyify.com/image/pO51But isn’t it then a problem of that plugin ( Permalink Manager ) ? What do they say about your troubles ?
and you are right – I did indeed assume that you were using the Advanced Layout Builder. In this case there is an editor field for permalinkHi,
Thanks for the update. It does sound like you are having problems with the plugin in question, what happens if you deactivate it? Also, does the same thing happen when a default theme and the plugin is active?
Thanks @guenni007 for helping out :-)
Best regards,
RikardThanks for the support.
Looking through all the Permalink settings (which I considered correct) I realized that after I changed the theme an extra parameter “Avia Framework” was added, that had not been configured. Once configured, the “Portfolio-Articles” disappeared “, I have yet to figure out how to edit some slugs.Hi,
Thanks for the update. Please let us know if you should need any further help on the topic.
Best regards,
Rikard
