Yes, there is a way to remove the "/blog/" slug from blog posts in Webflow. By default, when you create a blog collection in Webflow, the URL structure for each blog post includes the "/blog/" slug. However, you can customize the URL structure to remove the "/blog/" slug and make it SEO-friendly. Here's how you can do it:
- Open your Webflow project and navigate to the "Pages" panel.
- Select the "Blog Posts" page that is associated with your blog collection.
- In the right-hand panel, click on the "Settings" tab.
- Scroll down to the "URL" section.
- Click on the pencil icon next to the URL field.
- Remove the "/blog/" slug from the URL field and enter any desired structure you want for your blog posts URL.
- Click outside of the URL field to save your changes.
By removing the "/blog/" slug from the URL structure, your blog posts will now have a clean and concise URL, which can be more beneficial for SEO purposes.
Note:
- Changing the URL structure may result in broken links if you have already shared your blog posts on external platforms. To avoid this, you can set up 301 redirects to redirect the old URLs to the new ones.
- Removing the "/blog/" slug from the URL structure may affect the overall organization and hierarchy of your website. Make sure to consider the impact on your website's structure before making the change.
By implementing this solution, you can remove the "/blog/" slug from blog posts in Webflow and have more control over your blog post URLs.
