Why are not slug or URL structure updating in Listdom?

If your Listdom listing links, category pages, or location URLs are not updating correctly after changing the slug settings, this is usually related to WordPress permalink caching.
The solution is simple, you just need to resave the WordPress Permalink settings every time you make a change to Listdom slugs.

This ensures that WordPress rewrites the permalink structure and refreshes the URL rules used by your directory site.

Common Scenario

You might encounter a situation like this:

“I changed the slug setting in Listdom (for example, %location%/%category%/), but when I visit my site, the old corrupted URL pattern still appears. Even after saving it again, it keeps reverting back.”

This happens because WordPress doesn’t automatically rebuild its rewrite rules after certain plugin or permalink changes.
The fix only takes a few seconds and ensures all your URLs work correctly again.

Solution: Save WordPress Permalinks

Follow these steps to refresh your permalink structure:

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings → Permalinks.
3. You don’t need to make any changes, simply click Save Changes.
4. WordPress will flush and regenerate all permalink rules, including those from Listdom.

After saving the permalinks, revisit your Listdom pages and confirm that all links and slugs now display correctly.

Tipp

Always resave the permalink settings after:

• Updating Listdom or its add-ons.
• Changing any slug settings in Listdom → Settings → General → Slugs.
• Activating or deactivating new add-ons or themes.

Next Steps

If the issue persists after saving permalinks:

• Clear your browser and website cache.
• Temporarily disable any SEO or permalink-related plugins.
• Check your .htaccess file for proper write permissions.
