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 nothing in Elementor's own 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 with its status (Published, Draft, or Trash) and when it was last modified. Hovering over a page title reveals a Quick Edit link, which opens an inline form with a Slug field right there in the list, useful if you just need a fast change and don't need the full editor. For anything else, click into the page itself.

Once you're editing the page, open the settings sidebar (in the block editor, or the equivalent panel if the site uses the classic editor rather than the Elementor canvas). Look for the Permalink section; inside it sits the Slug field, showing the current URL segment, which on a fresh page usually defaults to something generic derived from the title. Click the slug value to make it editable.

Type the new slug: keep it lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and skip special characters, since WordPress strips or encodes them automatically anyway. Press enter or click away to confirm, then hit Save or Update on the page itself; the slug field alone doesn't commit the change. That saved value becomes the live address visitors and search engines use going forward.

If the page is new and unpublished, changing its slug carries no risk. If it's already published and indexed by search engines, changing the slug changes its URL, and the old one starts returning a 404 the moment you save.

Set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one as part of the change, not as a fix you scramble for once someone reports a broken link. This preserves most of the page's existing search ranking instead of losing it.

If the page throws a 404 or looks broken right after saving, the most common cause is a caching plugin or the host's server cache still serving the old URL structure. Clear any active WordPress caching plugin, and on managed hosting, clear the host-level cache from its own panel too. If that doesn't resolve it, open Settings > Permalinks in WordPress and re-save that screen without changing anything; this flushes and rebuilds WordPress's internal rewrite rules, which clears 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 stored IDs, depending on how they were built. Check Appearance > Menus for any manually added links using the old slug, and look through other pages or posts that link to this one directly.
