How to Change Page URL in Elementor, Fix Slug Setting Not found in WP Elementor Easily 2026

Elementor installs as a plugin, so it shows up as its own menu item in the WordPress admin sidebar, with Home, Settings, and Templates underneath it. This is a good place to get oriented, but it's worth saying upfront: nothing in this Elementor-specific menu controls a page's URL. That setting lives one level up, in WordPress's own Pages screen, which is the next stop.

From the main WordPress sidebar (not Elementor's), click Pages to see every page on the site along with its status — Published, Draft, or Trash — and when it was last modified. Find the specific page whose URL you want to change and click into it. This list is also useful for a quick sanity check afterward, since a renamed slug will still show the same title here even though its link has changed underneath it.

Once you're editing the page, open the Page panel on the right (in the block editor, or the equivalent settings tab if you're editing through WordPress directly rather than the Elementor canvas). Scroll past Status and Publish date and you'll find Slug, showing the current URL segment — in a fresh page this usually defaults to something generic derived from the title. Clicking directly on the slug value makes it editable.

Type the new slug you want — keep it lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and avoid special characters, since WordPress will otherwise strip or encode them for you anyway. Press enter or click away to confirm the change, then hit Save or Update on the page. The slug field will now reflect your new URL segment, and that's the actual live address visitors and search engines will use going forward.

If the page throws a 404 or looks broken right after you save the new slug, the most common cause is a caching plugin or your host's server cache still serving the old URL structure. Clear any WordPress caching plugin you have active, and if you're on managed hosting, also clear the host-level cache from its own panel. If the problem persists, check Settings > Permalinks in WordPress and simply re-save that screen without changing anything — this forces WordPress to flush and rebuild its internal rewrite rules, which resolves most post-slug-change 404s.

Changing a slug doesn't automatically update navigation menus or internal links elsewhere on the site — those still point to the old URL as literal text or IDs, depending on how they were built. Check Appearance > Menus for any manually-added links using the old slug, and search through other pages or posts that might link to this one directly. If the page was already indexed by search engines, set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one so you don't lose that traffic or hand visitors a dead link.
