I've been asked numerous times extremely recently about altering web page link, so that implies it's time for an article!
How To Change Your Facebook Page Url
Actions To Take Prior To You Change Your Username
Your username creates the actual distinct web link for your Facebook page. Prior to you transform this, make a listing of every one of the areas online that link to your web page, or materials that have your existing LINK noted on them. For 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 certainly be broken. As far as I know, there is no other way to set up a short-term redirect from your old username to your new one so you intend to make certain that you are prepared to update these points as soon as you transform your username.
How you can Change Your Username
When your web page is produced, a username is automatically generated that appears like www.facebook.com/Your-Page-Name-Here-2398613149875983. Not very eye-catching, not really easy to bear in mind, not really easy to fit on a business card!
Previously, admins can only transform a page username 2 times then it was permanent - Facebook seems to have actually lifted that restriction!
From your page, go to Around (on the left sidebar).
Click Edit beside Username.
Kind your new username. You have 50 personalities.
- Suggestion: despite the fact that usernames are not instance delicate, consider exploiting the initial letter of each word for much better readability
If your username is readily available, double check the punctuation
Click Create Username
Referral the list you made formerly as well as upgrade any type of web links that are indicating your old address
CAN'T CHANGE YOUR USERNAME?
There could be something in your name that breaches the custom username guidelines. From the Facebook help facility:
-You could only have one username for your Web page or account as well as you cannot assert a username someone else is already making use of.
-Usernames could only have alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period (".").
-Periods (".") and capitalization do not count as a part of a username. For instance, johnsmith55, John.Smith55 and john.smith.55 are all considered the very same username.
-Usernames have to be at least 5 characters long and also cannot include generic terms or extensions (ex:. com,. web).
-You need to be an admin to produce or change the username for a Page.
-Your username must comply with the Facebook Statement of Civil Liberties as well as Responsibilities.
On top of that, you could not have the ability to change your username up until your web page has 25 likes - although this isn't regular for every single customer.
