  I have changed the name of a few pages that are the top-pages of the menu. The result is that the URL of the pages in this menu is wrong – they still have the old name in the URL.
  For example: http://zendenbosch.nl/meditatie/kwan-yin-sangha/
  I want to change the word ‘meditatie’ to ‘over ons’, because that is the new name of this menu-item. How can I change this?

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

  In this case the “mmeditatie” portion of the URL comes from the parent page. If you change the URL of the parent page, it will change the URLs of the child pages as well. To update the URL, visit the edit page, linked below and click the edit button under the title box.

  Note: If you do this all the previous links you sent to these pages will be broken, so I only recommend changing the URLs of pages if you haven’t shared them publicly yet.

  Let me know if you have questions about that!

  oke, I thought I had done so, but apparently I needed to save the page as well. (I only clicked oke after changing the name)
  Thanks
