Changing the “blog” category name

  • Hi.

    I would like to change the original name for the “blog” category to “news”, so that every visitor sees url.com/news/2017/02/10/name-on-post

    What way to go to change this, without destroying anything URL-related? Thanks in advance for help.

    Hi and thanks for your answer.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t do anything. I changed from “Blog” to “News” but when I try to visit the url it shows a 404 ??

    Even though both the name and the slug are changed, I can still visit the “blog” folder. Strange?

    To clarify; it’s not the actual blog-category I want to change the name of, it’s the folder itself. url.com/blog/date/postname to -> url.com/news/date/postname

    I guess, if I go into the server via FTP and just change the name of the folder that I will mess up alot of database connections? Right?

    Will things get messed up if I go in and change the following, from “blog” to “news”? (Settings > Permalinks > Custom structure). I already have blogposts and pages and ofcourse do not want to mess up the database structure anyway.

    Example
