 * Hi, it’s been recommended that my postname in the URL of your posts and pages
   is incorrect, and that I should change the permalink structure to /%postname%/.
 * Do I simply add this to the custom field which would look something like this?

 * Thanks

 * In your dashboard go to Settings then Permalinks, select the “Post Name” option
   and save the changes.
