A permalink is the URL to the actual article or page. As a rule, this “permanent” link should no longer be changed.

The permalink can be edited using the “Edit” button. Umlauts are automatically corrected. Experience has shown that stop words should also be avoided here in order to define URLs that are as short and meaningful as possible.

The settings for the permalinks can be set under “Settings” -> “Permalinks” in the WordPress backend.

Using placeholders, a user-defined URL structure for pages and posts can be created.
