How to Edit Post Slugs and Excerpts on the WordPress App

Now, you can edit your slugs in the apps to shorten them. A post slug is the portion of a post’s URL that comes after the.com (.org, .net or .com.ng, which ever one you are using)


WordPress will produce one for you based on the title of your post – but if your post has a really long title, it will also have a very long URL. Experts say long URLs are not good for SEO.

In the app, you can also upload and edit excerpts, which are short summaries of your postings.

Some themes show post extracts on the main page; if yours does, add one to each post. They appear in the WordPress.com Reader as well, providing you more control over what appears there.

For me, I use Rank Maths plugin. And Rank Maths provides the option that makes it easy for posts slugs to be edited easily.

  • click on the “…” to access the Rank Maths option.
  • On the Rank Maths options, click on Edit snippets.
  • Then input the slug you wish to use.
  • If you do not change the slug of your post,

If you are not using any SEO plug in, you can still edit the slug of your post by taking the following steps;

  • Go-to the settings sign on the top right of your post.
  • From there, scroll to URL Slug and edit it.
