    OK I am totally new this. So keep it simple in your replies. What I am trying to do is when someone clicks on a page I have created it takes them direct to a different URL. How do I do this, when I go into Appearances, Menu my home page has custom written on the top right and has an option to put in a URL my other pages just say Page with no option to put a URL in. Can someone help please this is driving me mad?

  • I’m not quite sure I understand your question completely, but as I understand it, you’ve created pages and you want to change the link and/or page title?

    If so, you can update both in the page admin:

    Page->All Pages

    and then click “Edit” for whichever page you want to update.

    You can set the title there. By default, WordPress will use the title of the page as the permalink/URL (if you are using permalinks). You can edit that actual permalink there as well so it can be different from your page title.

    Right below the title edit text box, should should see the current permalink and two buttons to the right of that to edit or view the page:

    Permalink: http://www.example.com/somepage/ ‎Edit View Page

    If you haven’t set permalinks or it’s not clear to you, go to:

    Settings->Permalinks

    I generally use “Post Name” instead of “Default,” but there are other choices.

    If you’re using 3.6 there will be a section (on the left of the apperance>menu page) called links – just put a custom link in one of those and add it to the menu.

    Thanks both, Lee I have 3.6.1 I have tried this but I must be doing something wrong. I have 6 pages and I want to send each page when a client clicks on it straight to a different URL. When I look at my dash board on menu My home page has custom on it allowing for changes but my additional pages do not they just say page.

    In Appearance > menu you can add and remove pages to the menu, just remove the ones that are there and add the new ‘Links’ to the menu.

    Have a look at this (Links used to be called Custom Links)
