    Hi, I have been refreshing my current pages link name to make them more aligned with some SEO rules and went i do a Site:mysitename in google, I still see the old site links since a few days.

    Any one of you know how I can fix this?
    I haven’t migrated my site to another one, I have just the same site but did change the name of lots of page link name

    Hi There,

    I believe the best would be to generate your site map with a plugin like Yoast SEO and than update your sitemap to your google webmaster tools.

    Hope that helps

    Hi There,

    Did you try to upload them via your Google Webmaster Tool?

    Please take a few minutes and read how to do it, I guess that would solve the issue.

    But anyway should be 48h until url gets update.

    Hope it helps

    By “page link name”, do you mean you changed the slug or the URL of your posts? If that is the case, you will really get a 404 because essentially, your pages’ address is different now so they are now like new pages. You’ll need to 301 redirect your old URL to the new one in order to take advantage of your rankings. Your new page URLs won’t replace your old URLs automatically unless Google decides it will.

    This is neither a theme or plugin issue so this is outside the scope of our support. Regarding the sitemap, please contact Yoast SEO support or you might want to contact our trusted partners who caters X setup and customization needs. Please see https://community.theme.co/custom-development/

    Thanks.

    Hello There,

    Thanks for updating us in. You have to wait until Google re-indexes your website. This can usually take a few weeks to complete. Once that happens, you will see the updated URLs on Google. Without a 301 redirect from the old to the new URL, you are effectively starting from scratch with the Google index. It could take weeks, or even months, for your new URLs to get indexed! When changing the URL structure, a 301 redirect is mandatory if you want to preserve your existing index status.

    Perhaps these articles could help you:
