Re: Changing the new web page name on the URL

Hi...

I have been trying to search and maybe I just couldn't find the correct keywords.
My problem is I would like to change the display naming in the URL for the web page that I have created through website content.

For example: I would like to create a tab called ContactUs
instead of showing
http://www.domain.com/contactus/contactus.html
it shows
http://www.domain.com/pages.php?pageid=4

Please help.

Thanks.

If you type "Contact Us" into the 'Page Name' field when you are editing your page this should give you a url of
domain.com/pages/Contact-Us.html

Sounds like you need to change a setting...

AdminCP > Settings > Store Settings...

Scroll down and find: "Search Engine Friendly URLs:".

If the option is already set to "Enable (if available)" then your server may not be compatible... If not, set that as indicated left and you should start seeing something like:

http://www.domain.com/pages/contactus.html

It's already enable.
Currently, I am trying from the localhost in my local computer.

am using xampp version 2.5 to run it at this moment.
Just wondering if after I upload it to the server, will it be the same problem or will it change?

Cheers

Only way to find out is to try it on your main web server... I suspect it will probably work but only testing will prove/disprove.
