AVOID BROKEN LINKS CAUSED BY BETHEME: Revise "Save as Draft" on Published Pages
If you are working on a published page and want to save the changes as a draft so you can preview it; BeTheme actually modifies the slug (which impacts the page URL). For example. If you make changes to www.domain.com/metal-widgets and save it as a draft, the url will now be www.domain.com/metal-widgets-506.
But THE SYSTEM DOESN'T ALERT THE USER that it is changing the domain. It just does it. This is a problem because it can break internal links. If you don't know the links are broken, it can cause major headaches.
I would recommend that you revise the way you handle Save Draft. Here are some suggestions:
- Prevent the system from modifying the URL if you save a published page as a draft
- Add a notification when someone selects Save Draft on a Published page that warns users that the URL will change
- Provide an option to Save Draft without changing the URL (slug)

Hi,
I was able to recreate this on my environment and passed this issue to the dev team.
We will correct it in the upcoming update.
Best regards
Thanks Phil!
