AnjeanettePhotography Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Site URL: http://phoenixheadshotpro.com/ Sorry- basic question I am sure, but cannot figure out how to change. I just got a domain name for one site, previous was using the squarespace name. when I enter domain name goes to site correctly- great! When I click on an individual page on the site, the url reads "http://familyphotoblogarizona.squarespace.com/arizona-headshot-cost-info" which is the old page name. Tried fixing in page settings (gear icon) and domains, logo & title etc etc etc. Where do I change this? Would prefer it to read "http://phoenixheadshotpro.com/cost" or "http://phoenixheadshotpro.com/guide" for example Thanks to anyone willing to nicely school this noob! 🙂 Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 You new domain may not be set as the primary domain. You change that in settings/domains. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205812368-Setting-a-primary-domain Link to comment

derricksrandomviews Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Also if you have a landing page with action buttons that take you to a page on the site, make sure those buttons do not have .squarespace as part of the url. I overlooked this on one of my sites that I built which had the same issue. Link to comment
AnjeanettePhotography Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Darn thats not it. I verified that it is the primary domain. Yet if I open the website on an incognito website the site title in the url is wrong: says http://familyphotoblogarizona.squarespace.com/ or http://familyphotoblogarizona.squarespace.com/arizona-headshot-cost-info on different pages but should be: http://phoenixheadshotpro.com/ Now I can get to the site when I type in http://phoenixheadshotpro.com/ but it changes on different pages. Used to go into each pages settings/gear icon and change there but do not have that option now. Link to comment

paul2009 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, AnjeanettePhotography said: make sure those buttons do not have .squarespace as part of the url Best practice is to not include any part of the domain name in links if they are on the same site. You'd therefore be better to use /arizona-headshot-cost-info instead of http://phoenixheadshotpro.com/arizona-headshot-cost-info. This prevents any issues later and will load pages faster if Ajax page loading is being used. Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

derricksrandomviews Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Paul is right. It is better to set the landing page buttons to go directly to a page as opposed to a link. This option was not there when the 7.0 landing pages were new. The landing page was like a one page site which is can still be but now it is also another integrated page as well. Link to comment
