Managing categories in the Ciriks Website Builder is straightforward. However, if you have multiple pages within a category, it’s essential to follow these guidelines to avoid potential issues when editing or deleting categories.
From the Ciriks Website Builder dashboard, navigate to the Categories section and select the category you want to edit.
Click the edit icon (pencil icon) to open the editing options.
Make the necessary edits. If you need to update the category slug, proceed carefully. The slug is part of your URL, and any changes will directly impact the URLs of related pages. For slugs containing multiple words, always use hyphens (-) to separate them.
After completing the edits, click the Edit button to apply and store the updates.
As with editing, navigate to the category you want to delete in the Categories section.
Click the delete icon (trash can icon) and confirm your action.
Deleting a category will remove all pages associated with it. Ensure that you no longer need these pages.
Altering a category slug will modify the URLs of all associated pages. If your site is multilingual, these changes will affect URLs across all languages.
After changing a slug, it’s crucial to redirect old URLs to the updated ones using 301 redirects. This ensures users and search engines don’t encounter 404 errors.
After modifying a slug or deleting a category, review all internal links on your site to ensure they are still accurate and functional.
Deleting a URL can significantly affect your site's SEO and user experience. Proceed carefully to avoid negative impacts.
A 301 redirect is the best method to guide users and search engines from an old URL to a new or related one.
