    Umbraco URL Name/Alias

    I am seeing issues with both URL Name and URL Alias.

    1.  Umbraco URL Alias appears to only work correctly if what is entered is in all lower case.  This confuses users as there is no indication they need to use all lower case.

    2.  Umbraco URL Name does not appear to allow creating an alternate name in the root of the site.  The page is accessed fine with the new name under the content node.

    For example:

    Content is located at /AboutUs/CareerCenter

    URL Name: /Careers

    This works:  /AboutUs/Careers

    This does not but should:  /Careers

    Hi Connie,

    You are correct about the lowercase for "umbracoUrlAlias" - aside from the wiki page, its actually an undocumented (hidden) feature of Umbraco.

    For your "umbracoUrlName" example, that will only change the URL page/name at that level, so you would need to use "umbracoUrlAlias" instead, as that will work from the root of the website.

    Cheers, Lee.

    You can use url rewriter to make url all lowercase. I use the umbracoUrlAlias in my site with lowercase url rewriter, it works great.

    Is there a particular reason that umbracoUrlName only changes the url at it's own level?
