Hi everyone, I realized that confluence uses two different structures of URL: * structure 1: /pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345 * structure 2: /display/category/example-title-automated Is there any way to set the second structure for all the URLs in the site? I hope anyone can help Have a good day.

As an aside, you'll find the page-id is always valid - the page title url is usable when Confluence can use it, but you can always get to a page via its ID, even if there is a friendly name.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hi everyone,

I realized that confluence uses two different structures of URL:

structure 1: /pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345
structure 2: /display/category/example-title-automated

Is there any way to set the second structure for all the URLs in the site?

I hope anyone can help smile

Have a good day.

Hi,

You usually only get this type of structure: "pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345" when you have some special characters in the title. If not then it should display like structure two. I would check those pages that are displaying with pageId=12345 and see what special characters are in the title and remove them.

Agree. The parenthesis '(' or ')' being a local favorite in page titles.

Yea we run into a lot of people using parenthesis also.

Roberto: Here is a list of characters you can't use:

! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? # [ ]
