Slug/URL

Hello,

I am rebuilding my websites from an older platform which set my urls to have .html at the end of them. When I try to add .html to the slug section (ex/ about.html vs about) it says: slug.slug: Only alpha numeric symbols are allowed.

If I can't add .html to the end that means I'm going to lose all my backlinks to my sites which is a huge problem. I know I can redirect but thats going to be a huge pain for hundreds of pages between multiple websites.

Is there a way I can go about setting my URL structure to be the same as it currently is with the .html at the end?

  Hi Shaun,

  Thank you for reaching out to us.

  Unfortunately, adding .html to the end of slugs is not currently possible. We understand that managing redirects for hundreds of pages across multiple websites can be time-consuming, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. However, setting up redirects is the most effective way to ensure your backlinks remain functional.   

  Best regards,
