Creating a Custom “About” Page URL | WordPress.org

Hello,

The URL of my “About” page is currently /?page_id=2 but I would like it to be /about, is there an elegant way to do this in WordPress without changing the entire permalink structure? I am only interested in doing this to 3-4 important pages.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

@mercime: My understanding is that this method will break my existing permalink structure, which I am not interested in doing. I only want to change a few pages.

I imagine I could create an index.php page within an /about directory, but I’d have to hack together a page to put there if I wanted it to be seamless.

A quick update, I’ve been having trouble with the custom permalinks plug-in. My new question thread is here.

Thanks.
