SEO URLs - Custom

From Snapp CMS Developer Documentation

Jump to: navigation, search

By default, SnappCMS creates SEO-friendly URLs based on the name of each page in your site's sitemap. If you change the name of the page, the page's SEO-friendly URL will change. This isn't a problem for pages that are reached via internal menu widgets and the like, but for pages that are statically linked to from documents or sites outside of your SnappCMS site, changing your page title could invalidate your static links.

For example if you had a Blog page named "Blog" in the following sitemap:

Image:blog_before_rename.png

the page would have the URL http://<Your host>/site/blog.

If you were to rename that page "New Blog", as follows:

Image:blog_after_rename.png

SnappCMS would automatically update the page's SEO-friendly URL to http://<Your host>/site/new-blog.

There may be occasions however where you want to rename the page, but maintain its old SEO URL. In this case, you would need to set a Custom SEO URL for the page.

Do the following:

1. Right-click on the blog and select "SEO Options"

2. Enter the preferred SEO URL in the "Custom SEO URL" field

3. Click "Save".

Your page will now use its old SEO-URL again.
