How Do I Change the Permalink on My WordPress Homepage?

Changing the permalink on a WordPress website can be a daunting task, but it is not as complicated as it may seem. In this article, we will show you how to change the permalink on a WordPress website using the wp_changed_permalink() function.

To change the permalink on a WordPress website, you will first need to access the wp_changed_permalink() function. The wp_changed_permalink() function will return a string that is the new permalink for the current WordPress website.

The first thing you will need to do is to find the current permalink for your WordPress website. To do this, you will need to access the wp_posts table in the WordPress database.

The wp_posts table will contain all of the posts on your WordPress website.

Next, you will need to find the ID of the post that you want to change the permalink for. To find the ID of the post, you will need to access the wp_postmeta table in the WordPress database.

The wp_postmeta table will contain all of the metadata for the post, including the ID of the post.

Once you have the ID of the post that you want to change the permalink for, you can use the wp_changed_permalink() function to change the permalink for the post. The wp_changed_permalink() function will accept two arguments: the old permalink and the new permalink.

The wp_update_post() function will accept the post ID as the argument.

The wp_update_post() function will use the ID of the post as the argument. The wp_update_post() function will update the post content and the post ID in the wp_posts table in the WordPress database.
