Issue
When migrating a blog to Uberflip, the URL Mapping (for 301 redirects) does not show the original blog URL.
- Where the original URL should appear, the page displays letters with dashes inside curly brackets, e.g. {36A82D82-3E3B-40B1-B00E-2839BF17I87E}
Conditions
- Where: Migrate Your Old Blog To Your Hub page (Hubs > Content > click on a Blog Stream > Hamburger Menu > URL Mapping (for 301 redirects))
- Any browser
- Any operating system
Cause
The "code" shown under the Original URL column is a GUID, or Globally Unique Identifier. GUIDs are used to uniquely identify various things, including blog posts in an RSS feed. However, there should also be a traditional URL available.
Steps to Fix
You can fix the problem by switching the URLs displayed in Uberflip to the permalink:
- Go to the Migrate Your Old Blog to Your Hub page: Hubs > Content > Blog Stream > Hamburger Menu > URL Mapping (for 301 redirects).
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and look for Originals URLs not displaying correctly? Try using the "permalink" value.
- Click on the link for Try using the "permalink" value.
- The page will refresh, and should now display usable URLs under the Original URL column.
