    You can change the URL of the listing by editing the listing in the backend.
    I am not sure why you’d want to do that, but maybe some others might be able to offer a better solution.

    You can ..

    Add location in urls
    Add full location in listing urls
    Add full location info with country, region and city slug in listing urls
    Add country and city slug in listing urls
    Add country and city slug in listing urls (/country/city/)
    Add region and city slug in listing urls
    Add region and city slug in listing urls (/region/city/)
    Add only city in listing urls
    Add city slug in listing urls

    But i will change the %postname% in %post_id%

    Hi,

    that is not possible. the permalinks must have %postname%. You could probably add the ID at the end, but not replace it.

    However I’m not 100% sure about that either.

    Let us know,

    Thanks

    Just FYI, for SEO that would be really bad… not sure why you want to do that.

    You have a wrong information, this way ist better for SEO.
    In large Directories are ids much better and Clean URL oder Pretty URL are so 2014 🙂

    This is from last year https://moz.com/blog/15-seo-best-practices-for-structuring-urls

    “#2 The more readable by human beings, the better” Which makes total sense.

    Since then, I haven’t found any relevant news that would suggest this has changed.

    I’m not sure how IDs instead of listing names would help with Search Engine Rankings, but I’m sure you have your good reasons to believe so.

    Thanks
