Creating a URL alias for a content item

Goal

Give a content item page a human- or SEO-friendly URL alias; you can follow similar steps to create an alias for a taxonomy term page. See Configuring aliases for URLs for more about aliases.

Who can create URL aliases?

Users with the Create and edit URL aliases permission can create aliases. To follow the steps in this topic, you will also need permission to edit the content item.

Steps

1. Locate and open the content edit form for the content item, or create a new content item (see related topics on creating and editing content).
2. Under URL alias on the edit form, enter the desired alias (for example, "/about-us"). Make sure the alias starts with a "/" character.
3. Click Save.
4. Verify that the page can be visited with the new alias, for example https://example.com/about-us.
