How to change slug in permalinks

    A programmer has set up a page template for me to use for articles, but I cannot make contact with him. In the template he has this note:
    * The archive page for (imported) articles. Currently the slug for these is temp-articles
    So the permalink on the test articles reads “https://mysite.com/temp-articles/then-the-article-title/”.

    How and where do I change the “temp-articles” to “articles”?

    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Have you tried Settings -> Permalinks?

    Not sure if this is controlled within here but it’s a quick easy first place to check.

    Yes, and it is set correctly for Post name: mysite.com/sample-post/ and the alternatives at the bottom are empty.

    So is that permalink displayed in the Edit Post window? With the /temp-articles/ being uneditable?

    The only place this could possibly be set (to my knowledge):

    1. Settings -> Permalinks
    2. Settings -> General (Site URL or WordPress URL)
    3. Redirection PLugin?
    4. .htaccess – check for any hardcoded redirections

    CORRECT.

1. Settings -> Permalinks

3. Redirection PLugin?
4. .htaccess - check for any hardcoded redirections

    Checked all of those and no mention of “temp-articles” .

    I did find a plugin disabled called “WP htaccess Control” which has some fields related to Permalinks but they are all blank.

    I also searched the entire database for “temp-articles” but nothing was found.

    Thanks,

    Found it! A new folder had been created “mu-plugins” and it creates “Custom Post Types, Taxonomies, and Meta Boxes.” The type “slug” had been converted to “temp-articles.”

    Thanks to all who helped.
