The Programme Slugs feature allows you to replace programme ID-based URLs with human-readable names, making your website easier to navigate and more SEO-friendly.
What are Programme Slugs?
With programme slugs enabled, your programme URLs will display the programme name instead of a numeric ID.
For example:
Insead of:
/programme/12345You will now see:
/programme/the-big-interview
This makes links clearer, more user-friendly, and easier to share.
Why use Programme Slugs?
Programme slugs help you:
Improve SEO performance
Create cleaner, more readable URLs
Make links easier to share and recognise
Improve overall user experience
How to edit a programme slug
To update slugs for existing programmes:
Go to ONE Admin > Catalogue > Programmes
Select the programme you want to edit
Click Edit from the Actions dropdown
Locate the Slug field (just beneath the Title)
Update the slug text
Click Save Programme
What happens after saving?
Once updated, the new slug will immediately appear on the front end of your website, updating the programme’s URL automatically.
Creating new programmes
When creating a new programme, you can set or edit the slug at the same time - just update the Slug field during setup before saving.
Important notes
Avoid using special characters or spaces (use hyphens instead)
Keep slugs short and relevant to the programme title
Changing a slug will update the URL, so ensure any shared links are updated accordingly
Programme Slugs give you cleaner URLs, better SEO, and a more polished browsing experience - helping users find and share your content more easily.
