Is there a way to change Facebook URL?

I manage a Facebook account for an ecommerce business and we're looking to change our username/URL on Facebook - is there a way to do this without deleting our account and starting over? We have over 500 friends.

  • Answer:

    From Facebook: It's only possible to change the name of a Page with fewer than 100 likes. If an error was made in your Page name when it was created, you have the option to edit it. To edit your Page name: Open your Page's admin panel Click Manage Select Edit Page Select Basic Information from the left sidebar Change the text in the Name field and save your edits To change the name of a Page with 100 or more likes, you'll need to delete your Page and recreate it. The Facebook team isn't able to change Page names for you.

Usernames can be set at http://www.facebook.com/username/ But I assume you have already set this username before and would like to change it again? Currently Facebook allows you to change your Profiles username once, but not your Page usernames. I have started a petition to give Pages the same ability: http://www.change.org/petitions/facebook-allow-page-username-changes-only-once

My understanding is according to something I read in the past few weeks that Facebook may give you ONE chance to change the name, if it has already been customized previously. This may give you another chance to change your custom Facebook URL you will need to read through to the end of the page.  http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/rename-facebook-page-vanity-url/   Good luck.

Finally Facebook provides a submit form to change your Page's name (w/ 500+ subscribers). Use this link here: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact_us.php?id=262629790471076 They have changed our Company's FB Page name in 3 days. Good luck!

If you have a profile: you can do it once irrespective of your no. of friends. If you have more than 100 likes on a fan page, then you will have to explicitly delete fans above 100, and proceed with change in name. or create a new one. URL for taking any action is: http://www.facebook.com/username

you can always try contacting a nearby Facebook PMD (preferred marketing developer) and ask them to contact facebook directly and maybe help you out. If you have valid business -related reason, they might do it for you. You can look up your nearest PMD here: http://www.facebook-pmdcenter.com/

I tried this, but it would only allow me to do it if I changed to using Facebook as myself (as opposed to my company).  And then it gave me options to change my own personal profile URL.  Thoughts?
