Does this sound familiar? You create a new page or post using Elementor, spending tons of time making it look just right.
And then you go to share it with the world, only to realize the URL something ugly like is yourdomain.com/elementor-#12313
Don’t worry, it’s a quick and easy fix! In this short video, I’ll show you how to fix it AND how to make sure it doesn’t happen again!

Unfortunately, this didn’t work. There’s no Slug designation below the Permalink tab when I expand it via the drop down arrow.
All that’s below it are the following lines:
Permalink
VIEW PAGE
https://[website]/page_id=328
Featured Image v
What should I do?
Okay, it’s fixed.
I downloaded a plugin and fixed all pages / posts at once.
Permalink Manager Lite
Advanced plugin that allows to set-up custom permalinks (bulk editors included), slugs and permastructures (WooCommerce compatible).

Back to square one… all slugs are now changed without errors, but the Elementor menu won’t take me to the page (404 error) even though when you roll your mouse of the the menu link it shows the desired slug or path (examples …/about …/contact )
Maybe the WordPress update to 5.9 created this problem
“no Slug designation below the Permalink tab” (see first message in this thread)
and Elementor programmers haven’t caught up yet.
Final message.. fixed it with the help of my hosting service Hostinger.com
I simply had to go into WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and choose the option:
Post name http://[website]/sample-post/
All better now. Thank you for this page.
Thank you michael this is the fix
Hi Michael, I have the same problem.
One question, once you do the fix:
“go into WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and choose the option:
Post name http://[website]/sample-post/”
I assume this will change all old posts, in this case, all those ones will give a 404 code. was that your case?
Hi Michael,
i know your post is old, but you really save my day with this fix.
Thank you a lot (and Dara too).
This did not work for me. I changed the Title in settings and I do not have a Permalink setting on the Dashboard. Just to make sure I did the page 15 times, same result each time.
