Changing Catagory Url/redirecting

New Sytist user and I realize that I have to change the URL of one of my categories. This category already has a number of galleries on it, and various schools and parents have the URL as a link for their photos.

How do I change the URL to the category (or copy the entire category so I can make a different URL and then I'd use a redirect for the old URL)?

If there are no "Categories" under that category, you can edit the category (edit under the category name in the left menu of the Site Content area) and click the Rename Folder tab. This will change the URL and the URL of the galleries in that category.

But there would not be a way to redirect old URLs to the new ones unless you want to add a redirect in the .htaccess file for each URL.

Example:
Redirect 301 /old-category/link-to-page/ /new-category/link-to-page

You can edit the .htaccess file by click Settings in the main menu then edit htacces underneath the left menu.

Yes there are a number of Categories under the main category. I'll look into doing what you suggested, thanks Tim.
