Hi folks
I would like to change a title in one of my published articles for better search optimization (google pays a lot of attention to this part of a page).
I recon when I change the title, the url of the article will be changed too.
The ideal resolution for me would be:
- having new title at the top of my article
- having updated URL based on new title
- having old URL that will automatically redirect to the new URL
Is that possible?
Thank you,
Sergey

We recently changed the submission wizard so that URLS match titles. Can you please let me know the article and title change? Let's see what we can do.

Thank you, Sean
Chris Maunder has shown me the solution.

When you change the Title of your article, the slug (that's the human-readable, SEO friendly bit at the end of the URL) updates automatically. However, if you change the title, and hence the slug, then hitting the old URL will still show the article.
Also, a small trick we've enabled is after you edit your article's title, you can click on the slug of the URL that's displayed at the top right of the submission wizard and edit the slug directly.

Wow, thank you Chris
Exactly what I need.
Very smart solution with the slug. I love it.
Legend!

Hi Sergey Arhipenko,
I think it may be possible and you have not need to more change in your published article. You change article title and resubmit again and you will be found change an online article. It will be automatically redirect on new URL. So, you can make easier change .

Sir;
With regarding to my submission of my article "Asynchronous File Upload" on March 7, 2012, it was a fix to the mistakes I made in the previous version of March 5, 2012. But I can't see the latest updates.
Please suggest me whether to post it again.

It does not appear there are any versions of that article. Have you tried making changes to the article itself? With our new wizard you can actually make changes while logged in by clicking the button here: Code Project Article FAQ[^]
Beyond that if you'd prefer to send me the full updated article and code in a .rar, or renamed .zip (ie .notzip) file I'd be happy to apply the updates for you.
Thanks,

Thank you sir for offering help. I made the update using the wizard (by the way it looks different than it was 1 year ago) is said "your article will go into a queue for approval" (the same message I received when I submitted the article).
if i couldn't see the updates to what e-mail should i send them?

All article updates now go through the same pending status as new articles. I have seen your article in the pending queue and now it is live. Please let me know if you have further questions.

This article[^] has some formatting problems, and the OP doesn't know how to fix them - could one of you have a look and help him out?
I would, but my author status isn't high enough yet (or likely to be in the near future!)
Quote from the OP:
"I used the latest article posting thing and attached a comment that I couldn't get things to work right. I don't know how to fix it, I was hoping that the reviewer would read the comments and help me out. Do you have any idea how I can fix things? I'm sorry, but I'm not even sure how to update the article
Any help or insight would be a huge help to me."

I don't qualify! I'm only a Silver author, and I don't have 5 articles to my name.

I don't think that's written in stone. You have to have the right spirit and attitude, mostly.

No, it's written in FAQ
Code Project Mentor FAQ[^]
Let's not upset anyone who has worked hard to get 5 articles out the door by skipping stages - I know and appreciate how much work they have put in to get them done. I have two outlined, but I keep running out of a big enough block of time to write them...

I think your reputation stands you in good stead to be a mentor. The article limit is really there to help weed out the undesirables, but in your case we'll make an exception.

The guidelines are for those applying to be mentors. It's simply a way of saying we want people with experience in and around the site.
You have it. We'd be honoured to have you help out.

Ok - let's give it a try and see what happens! (Provided you aren't going to turn up in the mankini and insist on an exchange of bodily fluids... )

That was last years outfit. Sean is nothing, if not a trendsetter.

I published an article of mine last month and which was approved at that time only and was published. Today i updated the article and it has again moved into pending state and is waiting for approval from the community.
Whats this?
before this also i have updated the article but it never asked for an approval from community.
Does this mean that everytime i need to post a change I'll be needing approval for it?
If so then i dont find it a good idea.
