At the end of the video, we will show you how to create redirects but for sites with a visitor base, we would recommend caution before changing permalinks. For your standard permalinks, you can go under Settings, Permalinks and modify the permalink structure there. We normally recommend the post name structure for most sites.
Below the standard permalinks, there is the option to change the category and tag base. This would mean rather than your site/category/name it would be what you set here replacing category in the URL.
For individual posts or pages, with the block editor, you would go next to the title for modifying or in the document settings under permalink. This will allow you to change the final part of the permalink with the post's name only to let you make it the correct name that you are wanting.
For changing a category you would go under Posts, Categories, and click the edit link beneath the category name you want to modify. You will both have the option to change the name you see on the back end of your site as well as the slug which is what is added in the URL.
For editing the author slug we would recommend using the Edit Author Slug plugin found here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/
With that active, you can go under Users, All Users and edit the user who's slug you want to modify. For the permalink for authors in general if you wanted to change that then you would want to go under Settings, Edit Author Slug.
