I just upgraded to DNN 9.5. I am going to physically relocate my business. Some of my existing page URL's need to reflect my new location. Specifically, I have a page with the following URL /kitchen-remodeling-long-island I need to change it to /kitchen-remodeling-Palm-Beach-Florida.

I went to page settings>Advanced>SEO. I figured the way to get this done was to select add url, type in the new name and done. Nothing seemed to happen, the table looks the same but when I try and do it again, I get a URL unavailable message. 

The menu still goes to the old url but, if I type in the new url, the new url exists. I can't find any way to change the page URL.

Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to offer up a solution. The redirect exists, I want to replace the actual page URL. In the old days, you could go to page settings and chage the actual url easily. Now I can't find any way to do it.

Right now I have 2 url's active for the page and since the original one is "automatic" there seems no way to make it a 301.

I am going to check out the module but it seems that it is used to creat redirects rather than change URL's. Hopefully, I am wrong and it does what i want. I'll report back.

Steve,

have you tried to turn off automatic Urls? ("Concatenate Page URLs" in Settings :: SEO :: Url Management :: General)

Happy DNNing!
