[resolved] How do you add a URL to a page? (6 posts)

    The Documentation says in 2.5 choose Write, Pages, Publish and Go to Manage > Pages - none of that seems to be in 2.7. If have an "about" page that I want to appear at http://mydomain.com/about.html where do I set the URL?

    If the page doesn't exist yet, then:

    > Pages
    > New page
    Write your page text
    > Publish
    Then:
    >Pages
    >Edit
    Underneath the page title, you will see the permalink listed, you can edit this to be whatever you want the url to be.

    If the page already exists, just skip all of the first bit above and edit in the same way.

    The page already exists - sorry I don't see the permalink under the page names - where do I turn it on? In Settings it just has, "Default" "Day and Name" etc. No enable or disable option.

    Also, why do I keep getting this when I go into the page I've created: "There is an autosave of this page that is more recent than the version below. View the autosave." I haven't changed anything.

    Go into the Edit Page option on any pre-existing page. The Page's permalink is immediately below the Page Title input.

    As for the autosaves, when you have a page open in Edit Pages, WordPress automatically saves a copy of the page every x minutes. If you know you haven't changed anything, feel free to ignore it. I do. ;-)

    Thanks but when I'm in the "Edit Page" screen, I see the "autosave" info right underneath "Edit Page" - then the page title input - then the content window with the visual/html tabs for the page content - no permalinks displayed. Under that is "Custom Fields"

    Found the problem. Permalinks was set to "default".

    Thanks for your help!
