Permalink issue

[Former Member]

Hi -

I was wondering how the permalink feature works for draft blogs? Although it is called "permalink" this link changes from when you start writing the blog to when it is published. Also, when you manually edit this link to re-write the URL it doesnt save a reverts to the original auto generated permalink when the blog is published.

It would be really helpful to have a permanent link that does not change for the draft version of the blog so it can be cross referenced before the blog is live.

Thanks,

Aleks

Hi, Aleks:

I don't have any experience using the permalink feature myself, so I'll need to investigate or find a colleague who might be more knowledgeable. For now, I wanted to acknowledge your question and let you know we're looking into it.

A quick update: My colleague (and our resident blog expert) has reached out to our developer and is conducting her own research to see if this is because of some issues with Wordpress functionality or something else. Due to the holidays, it may take days to get more info. But I didn't want anyone to feel ignored!

Best regards,

Yes, I believe there's some room for improvement here now that I've had a chance to look at it.

I've mentioned this to our community team colleagues and there's a discussion in the moderator space on the same.

can you make the permalink feature work? It still isn't really permanent (gone after save draft)
