Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with using a dot in the permalink. To use a dot in the permalink instead of it being converted to a hyphen, you can follow these steps:
-
Edit the post/page where you want to change the slug.
-
Look for the permalink section:
- In the Classic Editor, it is just below your post.
- In Gutenberg, you can find it in the Article → Permalink section.
-
Change the end of the URL to include the dot instead of a hyphen.
-
Type your desired slug with a dot in the URL Slug field.
-
Click the Publish or Update button to save your changes.
By following these steps, you should be able to use a dot in the permalink without it being converted into a hyphen. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please let us know.
Thank you for reaching out with your question.

Hello,
Please note that the period/dot is a special character and is not allowed in the URL structure. This is a common practice for SEO-friendly URLs.
However, you can use a third party plugin that can achieve that on your slugs:

Looking forward to helping you.
