URL Management

Folder Names

Our sites are built using on file-based principle, meaning every page represents a file in folder, just like on your desktop. By default, a Page's URL represents the names of the Folders needed to find the file. For example, a Page called Owner FAQ with a Folder Name of owner-faq placed within the owners folder, the final URL will be https://yourdomain.com/owners/owner-faq.

When you modify a Page's Folder Name, you are only affecting its section of the URL. Following from the previous example, if you change Owner FAQ's folder name to frequently-asked-questions, the final URL will become https://yourdomain.com/owners/frequently-asked-questions.

How to change a Page's Folder Name

  1. From the Pages tab, click on the page who's Folder Name you would like modify
  2. Click on the Advanced Tab.
  3. Under Settings, change the value in the Folder Name field.
  4. Hit Save to save your changes.

Overwriting the default URL structure

The default Page URL behaviour can be overwritten by defining a Page's Default Route. Contrary to changing the Folder Name, modifying the Default Route of a Page allows you to modify the entire URL. Going back to the first Owner FAQ example — with a final URL of https://yourdomain.com/owners/frequently-asked-questions — setting the Owner FAQ's Default Route to /owner-faq means its final URL will become https://yourdomain.com/owner-faq.

Always include the slash / in the beginning of the Default Route . This ensures that the Route you are defining is relative to your Domain Root https://yourdomain.com.

How to set Default Route

  1. From the Pages tab, click on the page who's Default Route you would like to change
  2. Click on the Advanced Tab.
  3. Scroll down to Default Route and click the checkbox to the left to activate it.
  4. Set the value you would like to use for the Default Route, including the leading slash /.
  5. Hit Save to save your changes.
