Update Slug when changing words in description

Post by tubeman »

Hi,
When I change words in the description using Massedit how do I get the changes to update on the slug also?

Example:

mysite.com/gallery/lady-fun.html

to

mysite.com/gallery/girl-fun.html

Please let me know if this is possible.Thanks.

Regards,

Actually I don't think it's good idea
This will change gallery urls and you'll get a lot of 404 pages at your site for google.

This is not for old sites but for new sites that we are making from the beginning, so before we make it live we change everything the way we want it and then put the site live.

Why don't you use import replacements in this case ?
