Change the slug of a taxonomy
Purple Hub
This article guides you step by steps through changing the slug within the URL of a (published) taxonomy and automatically create a redirect to the new slug, on the taxonomy itself. The same way works for all types of taxonomies in Purple Hub.
- Have a taxonomy (e.g. category) created and published in Purple Hub
- Have an Editor or Managing Editor role in Purple Hub
1. Go to your Purple Hub
