Good news for Facebook Page admins. Facebook announced last week that it is now possible to change your Facebook brand page username<\/strong><\/a> (that’s the vanity url you chose) in the admin tools.<\/div>\n

It’s\u00a0easy-peasy – although there are\u00a0<\/em>a couple of\u00a0things to be aware of:
\n1.\u00a0 It seems that fans will not be redirected from the old url.<\/strong> That’s a biggie, so think carefully if your exisiting vanity URL is well publicised
\n2. You can change your username only once<\/span>.<\/strong>\u00a0 If it was a typo which got you into this mess in the first place, why not your new name into notepad first?\u00a0Stare it it a while. Show a friend\u00a0just to make sure. There are no second chances!<\/p>\n

Here’s a step-by-step to change your Facebook Brand Page username:<\/h3>\n

1. Go to your page. Edit page > Update Info<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

2. If your Page has a vanity URL already, you will be offered the option to change it.
\nDon’t get confused – we’re talking about the URL, the bit after the slash on the address, and NOT the actual Page name. Choose the top option.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

3. Select the correct page and enter the new username.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

4.\u00a0 Facebook will check the availability ..<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

5.\u00a0 And voil\u00e0, it’s changed … you will now have a new vanity url.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

But,\u00a0 as I said, do think carefully before you make the change, as people entering your old username won’t find you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
