How are you doing? Itās been long time that I requested to have an option for changing URL of page.
Because this is very crucial due to SEO, etc. Iāve been working on a website redesigning for over 6+ months, itās very important. Please do the needful on priority, it wonāt take much time for good developer like you
Not sure if what youāre asking about could be redirects? Never heard the term āURL Slugā, so my guess is your concerned about changing page addresses on your site.
You should map the old page to what the equivalent new page would be, based on subjects. Then the best practice would be to do permanent (301) redirects from the old pages too the new ones. How you accomplish this is dependent on your web hosting service. Some services you would use a file called .htaccess On your servers root directory. Some hosting companies have options within your cPannel.

@Norm Yeah! Right now, Blocs currently pick page name as URL, there should be an option to update URL. So that when exporting it will use that as file name.
Example of Page Name: Test Your Website Default: test-your-website.html What If I Want: test-website.html
There are many cases for which you need Title/Page Name to be different as per SEO and URL shorter or customized.
This this is base for any Web Design application and Blocs is built as good quality so I expect the freedom for designers. Most of Application have such facility and it will be very very easy to do for developer like you
The Title attribute is used for SEO which Blocs has, page name in blocs is basically file name, Iām trying to understand were else page name is used that would require it to be different to the file name.
You shouldnāt use any special characters other than the hyphen - , the underscore _ or period . in your file names or They might not load correctly. Also should avoid spaces. Blocās appears to be taking care of this for you.
@teefers Thanks for your reply. I know, but the company for which Iām redesigning the website from last few months have that URL active and SEO done, so they want same URLs.
@teefers Thanks for the reference. Absolutely I have shared multiple links with the customer, but I hope you understand if customer donāt understand then they donāt
Hey Blocs uses Bootstrap 3 for the layout and that framework doesnāt offer an option for 5 or 7 columns.
As for the URLs If your client is using file names as part of the url with .html then they wonāt be able to ad especially characters to the name so should have them in the first place. If they do may try using escaped characters that might work (Iām not sure)
