How to safely edit a user profile URL?

Hello,

I would like to edit someone's profile url: https://[site}.com/u/name-here

Editing his profile name doesn't change his name in the uRL.

Please help.

Thanks

    • Yes, UNA only creates URL rewrites once. Which I disagree with. But, you must do it manually in the database. 😞

      • Hello @OneEagle !

        You may try to change it in the `sys_seo_links` table. Just find the proper record of your URI with the query like:

        SELECT * FROM `sys_seo_links` WHERE `module`='bx_persons' and `uri` = 'name-here';

        • Hello @Wise !

          It isn't a good deal to change the page URL more than once...

          • Hello dear @LeonidS

            Thanks a lot for your reply.

            Instead I run the following query as i noticed that the url 'name-here' was used in many other modules, not in the bx_persons' module only:

            SELECT * FROM `sys_seo_links` WHERE `uri` = 'name-here';

            As you can see below, the results gave me the 'module' and the 'page_uri' that are using that url. (bx_persons, bx_ads, bx_organizations, bx_albums, bx_channels, bx_courses, bx_forum etc)

            My question is: Can I safely change the `uri` value: 'name-here' in the `sys_seo_links` table for all those modules? Because it doesn't make any sense to change the profile url only (bx_persons) while the old name (old url) will still be used in other modules.

            Please could you give me the query to update it for all the modules in the `sys_seo_links` table at once?

            Thanks

            Below is the results after running the query above. I have just posted the 'module' and 'page_uri' (columns) using the url 'name-here':
