How do I set a custom slug for a specific course in CoursePress?

0

By default, the URL for a course called, e.g., “Spinach is Good for You 101” looks like ‘http://mysite.com/courses/spinach-is-good-for-you-101’. Is it possible to keep the name of the course as is, but change this URL to, e.g., ‘http://mysite.com/courses/spinach-101’?

    Hi,

    Coursepress requires pretty URLs, I can’t see anyway in the code to allow you to change the slugor shorten it without require custom coding. I don’t know how complex this would be, but I will certainly ask one of our SLS guys to see if he could come up with a quick solution to make the course slug editable like in normal posts.

    Hope this helps

    I don’t want to edit a working plugin, but if custom course slug becomes a feature in a future version of CoursePress, I will certainly appreciate it.

    I think for my purposes just setting up a 301 redirect will do the job. I want people to find the course using an easy to type URL; if they end up on a page with a longer address, it does not matter.

    Thank you for your response!
