 * Hi,
 * I tried to change the permalink of the page in my site and found that i’ve been
   having several problems with the permalink of my site.
 * 1. The permalink of the page isn’t shown in Google. Only the homepage of the 
   site was shown but not the specific page when I put the permalink in Google.
 * 2. I tried to use the permalink with a couple of different internet browsers.
   Safari didn’t even show the homepage of my site. DuckDukGo showed the OLD permalink
   of the page, but not the permalink that i edited.
 * 3. I edited the permalink through “Edit Page” and updated.
 * 4. Deactivated all the plugins but no difference.
 * 5. Checked the search engine visibility and discourage search engines from indexing
   this site wasn’t ticked.
 * Is there anything that I’m missing to fix these problems? This is my first website.
   Any help will be appreciated.

 * Please note we don not control what Google or DuckDukGo show and what they do
   not show. You need to ask them on their support.
 * However, we have some info about permalinks in this article [https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-permalinks/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-permalinks/)
 * Also, try looking into SEO plugins like [Yoast SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/)

 * Hi t-p,
 * Thank you for replying to my questions.
    Sure I understood that it’s really up
   to each browser to show or not to show. I thought it was something wrong with
   my end.
 * I checked that article before posting this question here, but i could not find
   out which one was applicable to my situation. I’m using Yoast SEO and also having
   problem with it like the change in meta description wasn’t appeared.
 * At this moment, any changes in permalink and Yoast SEO are not shown in my site.
 * I felt like I was missing something basic part of steps when I’m making those
   changes…

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
