Setting up redirects

Siddarth Reddy

We would prefer having control of setting up redirects rather than reaching out to the team cause we plan to use redirects a lot more to share shorter links with our constituents.

Have a "/p/" for page urls in addition to "/page/" in url.

Have a "/p/" for page urls in addition to "/page/" in url like "/e/" for events and "/f" for forms.
For example in addition to "www.example.com/page/welcome" have  "www.example.com/p/welcome". 
This will allow a shorter URL.
Thanks for considering!

Hello Calvin Chuang! I have a few more questions for you:

Can you provide any specific instances where the current URL structure has caused issues or inconveniences?
Are there any specific pages where you would like to see this change implemented first?
Do you foresee any potential issues with the proposed URL structure that we should be aware of?

Calvin Chuang

Hi Ginu,
1) When we print links out having /page/ makes for a very long url and is harder to remember. Hence why currently we request certain pages redirect to the /page/ urls.
2) No, this isn't urgent. More something to consider to put things in line with your other formatting structure for events and forms. Ideally, I would just like pages in the root directory so it would be www.example.com/pageurlhere
3) Not that I can see, unless you have something that begins with "p" that you will need it for like "profiles".

This is something we continue to need here as well.

Option to Edit URL Structure for Pages, Giving and Events

Raahul Ramanan (Almabase)

Whenever we create a Pages/Giving page or event, the URL usually includes "/p/" or "/g/" etc. We need the option to edit this directly without setting up a redirect URL to reduce confusion and unnecessary layers.
Request:
Please provide a feature that allows us to customize the URL structure more than slug for Pages, Giving pages, and events without the need for redirects.

This would be a great feature to have. We have had to create a lot of redirects because website addresses on our printed materials no longer work because of the /p/s or /g/s.
