I have actually been asked numerous times really lately regarding altering web page url, so that means it's time for a blog post!
Facebook Page Url Change
Steps To Take Prior To You Change Your Username
Your username develops the actual distinct link for your Facebook page. Before you transform this, make a checklist of every one of the areas online that link to your web page, or materials that have your existing LINK detailed 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
As soon as you change your username, the old link will be damaged. Regarding I know, there is no way to establish a momentary redirect from your old username to your brand-new one so you intend to make sure that you are prepared to upgrade these things when you transform your username.
How To Change Your Username
When your web page is developed, a username is immediately created that resembles www.facebook.com/Your-Page-Name-Here-2398613149875983. Not extremely appealing, not very simple to bear in mind, not extremely simple to fit on a business card!
Previously, admins can only alter a page username 2 times and afterwards it was long-term - Facebook appears to have actually raised that limitation!
From your page, go to About (on the left sidebar).
Click Edit close to Username.
Type your brand-new username. You have 50 characters.
- Idea: although usernames are not case sensitive, take into consideration utilizing the very first letter of each word for better readability
If your username is offered, check the punctuation
Click Create Username
Recommendation the checklist you made formerly as well as upgrade any kind of web links that are indicating your old address
CAN'T TRANSFORM YOUR USERNAME?
There may be something in your name that breaks the customized username standards. From the Facebook aid facility:
-You can only have one username for your Web page or account as well as you can not claim a username another person is currently utilizing.
-Usernames could only consist of alphanumeric personalities (A-Z, 0-9) or a duration (".").
-Periods (".") as well as capitalization don't count as a part of a username. As an example, johnsmith55, John.Smith55 and john.smith.55 are all thought about the same username.
-Usernames must go to the very least 5 personalities long and can not include generic terms or extensions (ex:. com,. net).
-You need to be an admin to produce or transform the username for a Page.
-Your username should stick to the Facebook Declaration of Civil Liberties as well as Duties.
Furthermore, you may not be able to change your username till your page has 25 sort - although this isn't regular for each customer.
