This was a question raised by a upcoming blogger who read our article on how to create Facebook fan page<\/a> who wanted to know how we gave our Facebook at Think2015<\/a> a custom URL like facebook.com\/think2015\/ which is not available by default. The problem was that there is no direct option to edit the URL or setup the Fan Page URL to a fancy one. Here is a quick solution for the problem which is listed above.<\/p>\n

First of all when Facebook introduced the system of changing the URL of your Fan Pages, the rules were that you should have atleast 100 fans to your Page and once this achieved, you can access the link and change it, but the rule was later changed and the minimum number was made 25 for the number of fans. Hence once your Fan Page has a total number of 25 fans you can visit the Username Setup Page at http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/username and then set it up.<\/p>\n

I already had setup a username for my facebook account, hence the default message as shown above was displayed. Next you need to click on the link which says ‘Set a username for your Pages’. This would show you a list of all the Fan Pages you have created along with a button which can help you in checking the availibility of the desired username.<\/p>\n

Next you will also be given with the suggestions for different available Usernames which are quite related to the one you would be searching for and once you select the one, you need to Confirm on the same. Thats it, you can easily register the custom shortened username for your Facebook Fan Page easily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
