# Remove work-view from URL

 * Hi, please can someone explain the difference between Pages and Works? How can
   I remove “work-view” from the URL on my “works” pages? When I try to edit the
   permalink it only allows me to change what follows [http://sitename/work-view/](http://sitename/work-view/)
   I’ve searched high and low but all I can find is info on blogs/posts/pages but
   not works! Any help gratefully appreciated!

 * What’s your site URL? _work-view_ isn’t something I’m WordPress familiar with.

 * Hi, it’s activeadventures.co.uk if you click on destinations and pick any of 
   the destinations you’ll see what I mean, many thanks

 * What happens if you switch to the default 2013 theme?

 * I’ve built the site using a theme called Blade I bought through Themeforest. 
   If I switch to default 2013 theme won’t I destroy the site?

 * No. Your theme & plugin settings are saved in your database and should be retained
   for future use.

 * Hi Esmi. my version on wordpress 3.5.1 only offers themes 2011 and 2012, I tried
   previewing them and it makes my site look a mess. My website has around 130 pages
   and is a production site and primary marketing/sales tool so can’t risk doing
   anything that will take it offline or make it unusable. I’ve been advised though
   to improve SEO that I remove “work view” from the URL, example=”[http://activeadventures.co.uk/work-view/lanzarote&#8221](http://activeadventures.co.uk/work-view/lanzarote&#8221);
   The Lanzarote page (and the other destinations) have been created by selection
   Works from left-hand menu. I liked the template setup in the theme for works 
   and it allowed me to categorize the destinations eg. Europe, Canary Islands, 
   Egypt, but annoyingly it insists on displaying “work-view” in the URL. I figured
   this was standard wordpress stuff but can’t find anything on Google about it,
   or the WP support forum. Can’t believe I seem to have chosen the only theme on
   the planet to have something weird in it! And there’s no longer any support from
   the theme developer. I should have stuck to plain old HTML!!!! 🙁

 * Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is 
   currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress
   asap.
