 * OK.
 * I’ve had a site running for a few years now and i’m fed up with the Permalinks
 * The page in question is: [http://www.fishface.co/?page_id=264](http://www.fishface.co/?page_id=264)
 * I want to change the name of that page only to [http://www.fishface.co/stonhambarnscarboot](http://www.fishface.co/stonhambarnscarboot).
   My knowledge of wordpress has improved over the years but, from what I can see
   it doesn’t make it clear what exactly happens when I click change permalinks 
   within that page as it goes to the stock page. My fear is that it will change
   all pages to that and not just this particular page. Now can someone give me 
   an answer without any blurb telling me whether i’m ok to change it and what could
   happen?
 * Also, one other thing, when I use the ugly permalink in emails it always brings
   up the event from a week before even though i’ve re-written that page with the
   correct date of event… why… and again please write a guide for an idiot please.

 * It will change the page id (?page_id=xyz) to the name of each page for all URLs.
   
   A short, rough answer.

 * So how do i change that page name only. There has to be a way! I’m moving my 
   website away from wordpress is there a way of renaming a page and linking it 
   to pick up people that look for the old link?
