Hello,

I created a few weeks ago an blog post:
Title: So you swim right
URL: mysite.com/so-you-swim-right

Now I want to change my title and url to this:
Title: How to swim right
URL mysite.com/how-to-swim-right

How do I do this right? Can I just change title and permalink in wordpress and i'm fine (seo wise)?

yes, just go to edit post and change the title, your permalink will update.

It worked perfectly.

No need to do a 301 it redirect automatically if I click an old link
