# different URL on hover

 * Hi everyone, I switched to the “Post name” permalink structure as I try to optimize
   my new photography site. I noticed that the new URL I chose for my galleries 
   does not match the one displayed on hovering and the original slug persists. 
   For instance, if I hover on the PEOPLE gallery I see [https://blackalwhite.art/?page_id=899](https://blackalwhite.art/?page_id=899)
   in the lower left corner, but on clicking the gallery I see the desired [https://blackalwhite.art/home/galleries/people/](https://blackalwhite.art/home/galleries/people/)
   in the URL window.
 * However, if I hover on the menu items in the header I have the same URL I will
   get after clicking them.
 * Is this a normal behaviour? Or does it indicate poor SEO due to some mistake 
   I made?
 * Thanks for your attention.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdifferent-url-on-hover%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You use Elementor as PageBuilder. After such a central change of the URL formatting
   you have to generate its templates again. Go to Tools under Elementor and click
   the button to regenerate the templates.
 * If this is not enough, contact Elementor support here: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/)

 * Thanks for you kind reply, thready. Unfortunately, “Regenerate CSS & Data” in
   the Elementor Tools menu had no effect. I will submit my query to the Elementor
   forum you suggested.
