    Hi,

    My places’ slugs and titles are not matching each other. And there are many of them not matching. How do I manually indicate the slug in my upload?

    Thanks!

    Hi Felicia,

    Are you able to elaborate a little bit more? Perhaps some examples and also WP temp admin access to your site. You can post the details here using the private reply option below.

    Thanks!

    The slug is created from the title of the imported listing, unless you update a listing and change the title. In those cases the slug should not change or you get broken links.

    To change the slug, go to the listing in the backend, and delete the slug, and then re-save the listing.

    I am guessing you imported a CSV file using incorrect post IDs, so you have over-written some other posts that used to have that slug.

    See also https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/dos-and-donts/

    Do NOT import CSV files with post IDs unless you want to over-write/update existing listings. If you add post IDs that refer to an existing WP page or WP post, or another GD listing, they will be over-written.

    Thanks
