  How do I change the title and URL of a blog post with still allowing people who have the old link to be able to access the article?

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

  Hi evamherman,

  If you change the URL, people will not be able to access it with the old link. You can, however, change the title without changing the URL, by editing the post.

  Does that help?

  Hi there, according to this recent Staff reply:

  When you update the parent page or URL slug of a post/page, we automatically redirect the old URL to the new one.

  However, in this support guide, it mentions that changing the date of the post will cause a 404-Not Found error.

  So to be on the safe side, change the post title, but not the post date.

  Let us know if you need anything else.
