How to use post slugs
The post slug is the name of a post used to create a permalink for each post. WordPress automatically generates post slugs from a post’s title, but you can also edit your post slugs.
Changing individual post URL
You can easily change URL Slugs for Blog Posts, Pages, or Custom Post Types.
Go to a Page or Blog Post where you want to change the Slug, look just below the Title field and you will see the URL with an Edit button next to it.
Clicking on the Edit button will allow you to change the page/post slug. You can use alpha-numeric characters and dashes in the slugs.
For a more SEO-friendly URL, make sure you choose a slug that contains keywords people would normally use to search for content.
