Blog URL simplification
complete
D
David Hall
Currently, all blog articles are using /b/slug. This means when I have a site with a blog page, the url is https://mysite.com/blog/b/slug. Adding categories makes it even worse. There should be a simpler way to accomplish URLs that have "prettier" links.
This also makes it virtually impossible to create redirects when combining or moving articles since the URL redirect function cannot redirect from subfolders.

Please can you make it set up redirects automatically from the old blogs to the new.

love the updates to the blog builder but for SEO best practices we need the primary version of the blog to be domainname.com/post-name
We then need all the other versions to automatically be marked cannonical to this post.
Also, please can we have multi-path redirects ASAP, it would be SO useful.

Sales & Marketing some of the things in the pages you linked to are inaccurate. For example:
"b. For example if the subdomain is blog.abc.com
- User can specify the blog.abc.com, they will not be required to add slug.
- The blog post name is defined as blog.abc.com/post-name"
It doesn't let you save it without a slug, the update/save button greys out if you remove the slug and leave it blank or try using a forward slash, so using a subdomain, which I love, still requires me to add a slug after it too, defeating the point of using the subdomain in the first place. Plus other issues the subdomain creates with the linking inside the blog elements which all get messed up and try to use a different domain.
Also the posts don't become blog.domain.com/post-name they seem to still have the /post/post-name on my end.

i agree. because for SEO purposes. its better if its "url.com/article-name". please remove "/blog/b/"

Mike Cruz yes, we still need this

This idea looks like it combines two separate improvements.
We definitely need this to be able to migrate previous GoDaddy customers to GHL.
- give the ability to customize the path of blog posts
ie: https://mysite.com/ 'blog/b' / < allow us to change this
- make it possible for multi level URL redirects
ie: https://mysite.com/blog/f/slug << from from Godaddy
Needs to be able to forward to https://mysite.com/blog/b/slug << for GHL instance.
We need this so previous blog links will continue to link to the new GHL site.

Is there any way to combine the WP with the funnels?
I want to use wp and also have funnels with order forms and affiliates. The problem is I have if I want both is put the funnels on the domain so I can track affiliates, then the blog has to go on a subdomain which is poor for seo...
If I use the wp for the main domain and use the plugin to iframe the funnels then the affiliates can't track clicks that go to the home page first because the tracking is on the order page. (My affiliates promote my entire site not just separate products.)

Blog URL not serializing characters with accents
M
Manuel Azar
Hello, characters with accent, for example in spanish, are not being converted to its non-accent version, and they are being skipped. this is bad for SEO purposes in spanish. All other blogs they follow the rule shown in the attached image.

Sales & Marketing What is the status on this? I have four clients and my own site paying for HubSpot because we can't move blogs over to HL or we will lose the blog traffic.
