 * I set the permalinks in my site to the stracture Post name.
 * Then I opened a post, the name of which is “Berlin at the start of the 19th century.
   A first overview” .
   The link that shows in the address-bar (Firefox 146.0.1) 
   is[https://berlin-explorer.org/beginning-2-2-2/](https://berlin-explorer.org/beginning-2-2-2/)
   I expected it to be: “[https://berlin-explorer.org/Berlin-at-the-start-of-the-19th-century.-A-first-overview&#8221](https://berlin-explorer.org/Berlin-at-the-start-of-the-19th-century.-A-first-overview&#8221);
   Was my expectation wrong? Or did I do something wrong?
 * Thank you for your help.

 * Hello,
 * Just for this post, have you tried editing just this slug? You do so by visiting
   post editor and selecting quick edit. There, you can usually update the slug.

 * Your expectation was correct, but the slug of the post is also influenced by 
   other factors. For example, if you initially named the post title “Berlin 2.2”
   and there are already slugs with that name, then that could have resulted in 
   that slug. Changing the post title later does not change the slug. SEO settings
   could also interfere here.
 * However, you can customize the slug at any time, e.g., via Quick Edit in the 
   posts.

 * Thanks to both of you. Handicraft work sometimes works.
