Change ID page

  • Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to change the ID of a page.

    I mean, I changed my website for a new one and I made the pages from scratch because I did not want to copy anything from the old one.

    There is a page that I would like to keep the ID so that it was the same as the old web page.

    How could I change the ID of that page?

    You can’t and why would you want to? The ID for posts, pages, comments are dynamically assigned. You can change the slug but the ID stays the same.

    Hi @dfart,

    It is not possible to change the ID of a page, but you do can direct a request to a different page ID, by using the following code in your .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} page_id={ID}
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?page_id={ID} [NC,L]

    NOTE: Make sure you edit the {ID}’s

    @jdembowski I thought it was here to put the issue, I do not do it on purpose, I’m wrong forum in which I have to ask the questions.
    I wanted to change it because I have an advertisement with a previous link that was very successful and indexed and I wanted to keep it that way.

    Sorry, what do you mean by this exactly?

    Emphasis added by me.
