Steven, that worked perfectly! Thank you so much.
Unfortunately, this revealed an issue from CSV Import.
When testing my spreadsheet to ‘perfect’ the formatting of my data for CSV Import, several errors occurred on my end, including incorrect insertion of first/middle/last names, etc.
So when I look at the individual pages, sometimes the name in the link looks correct, like this:
Alexander Angerhofer
https://newsite.chem.ufl.edu/people/name/alexander-angerhofer/
And other times the name in the link is using the wrong name (or using the the middle initial-firstname instead of firstname-lastname):
Rodney J. Bartlett
https://newsite.chem.ufl.edu/people/name/j-rodney/
So this means that the slug is now incorrect for these names (the data table is wp_38_connections). I even went into Connectons => Manage and changed the name manually that way, but the slug doesn’t change. If someone changes their name (e.g. if they get married), shouldn’t the slug change as well?
When I do the CSV Import, I don’t see a field to define the slug value, or a way to change it in Connections=> Manage. Is there some other way to change the slug? Or do I need to delete all my data and re-populate it? I hate to do that because I manually uploaded photos for them (and just changing the slug also “removes” the image). I probably can write some php to modify the database if I must, but I’d prefer not to do that and risk making more of a mess.
Sorry to bring you all these strange occurrences.
:)
Thanks again!
Steve K. for Dwight.
