How to Change the Url Of Your Facebook Page
I have actually been asked a number of times extremely lately regarding transforming web page url, to ensure that indicates it's time for a blog post!
How To Change The Url Of Your Facebook Page
Steps To Take Prior To You Change Your Username
Your username develops the actual distinct link for your Facebook page. Prior to you transform this, make a list of all of the areas online that connect to your web page, or materials that have your existing LINK detailed on them. As an example:
-your website
-blog posts
-email signature
-graphics
-other social media networks
-email templates
-business cards
-brochures, posters, marketing materials
-document templates
Once you transform your username, the old link will be damaged. Regarding I know, there is no way to establish a temporary redirect from your old username to your new one so you wish to ensure that you are prepared to upgrade these things when you transform your username.
Ways to Change Your Username
When your page is produced, a username is instantly produced that looks like www.facebook.com/Your-Page-Name-Here-2398613149875983. Not very appealing, not really easy to bear in mind, not extremely simple to fit on a business card!
Formerly, admins could just alter a web page username 2 times and afterwards it was long-term - Facebook appears to have actually lifted that constraint!
From your page, go to About (on the left sidebar).
Click Edit next to Username.
Type your new username. You have 50 characters.
- Pointer: although usernames are not case delicate, consider capitalizing the initial letter of each word for far better readability
If your username is readily available, double check the punctuation
Click Create Username
Reference the list you made formerly and update any type of links that are indicating your old address
CAN'T ALTER YOUR USERNAME?
There could be something in your name that breaks the customized username standards. From the Facebook assistance facility:
-You can just have one username for your Page or profile and you can not declare a username another person is already using.
-Usernames can only have alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a duration (".").
-Periods (".") and capitalization don't count as a part of a username. As an example, johnsmith55, John.Smith55 and also john.smith.55 are all taken into consideration the very same username.
-Usernames must be at the very least 5 personalities long and cannot consist of common terms or expansions (ex:. com,. internet).
-You need to be an admin to develop or alter the username for a Page.
-Your username need to adhere to the Facebook Statement of Civil Liberties and also Duties.
Additionally, you could not be able to change your username up until your web page has 25 sort - although this isn't constant for every single user.
