    I would like to change my old post titles from all caps to lower case with caps for the first letters only. Like this: THE JOY OF AIRPORT SECURITY to The Joy of Airport Security. If I simply edit this in the title field, will this change the URL? What about SEO?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    I don’t think your SEO will be affected if you change titles from all caps to any other form. If you look at URLs of any of the posts that have titles in all caps you will notice that they are in low caps anyway.
    Changing the title doesn’t change the URL.

    You can check this page for more details about slugs and URLs in WordPress:

    That being said, I have checked your site lifeintheexpatlane.com and it looks like it it isn’t hosted on WordPress.com. You are using free WordPress software hosted on DreamHost.
    Since this forum is dedicated to helping WordPress.com users, I would suggest you join WordPress.org support forums as that is the best place to ask questions about your self-hosted WordPress.
