# Overview

## Rename Destinations & Experiences

Travio includes two special tag groups:

* **Destinations**
* **Experiences**

They are used in the homepage sections, header dropdowns, filters, tag layouts, and the `/destinations/` and `/experiences/` pages.

You can rename them to match your publication. For example:

* Destinations -> Places
* Experiences -> Travel Styles

### What most users should do

Most users only need to change:

* The visible text visitors see
* The public page URLs
* The matching Ghost Page slugs
* Your Ghost Navigation links

This is the recommended method.

Even after this rename, some internal theme settings may still be called `destinations` and `experiences`. That is expected. Visitors will not see those internal names.

### What you usually should not rename

Do not rename these unless you are comfortable editing theme code:

* `@custom.destinations`
* `@custom.experiences`
* `[destinations]`
* `[experiences]`
* JavaScript selectors such as `data-destination-page`

Those are internal names used by the theme. Keeping them unchanged makes the customization much safer.

### Before you edit files

Download and keep a backup copy of:

* Your current theme ZIP
* Your current `routes.yaml` file from Ghost Admin

Use a plain text/code editor such as VS Code, Sublime Text, or Notepad++. Do not edit theme files in Word, Google Docs, or another rich text editor.

When you finish editing theme files, zip the theme again and upload it in Ghost Admin:

```txt
Settings -> Design & branding -> Change theme
```

Upload the edited `routes.yaml` separately:

```txt
Settings -> Labs or Advanced -> Routes
```

### Example used in this guide

These pages use this example:

| Current name | New name      | New URL           |
| ------------ | ------------- | ----------------- |
| Destinations | Places        | `/places/`        |
| Experiences  | Travel Styles | `/travel-styles/` |

Replace `Places`, `Travel Styles`, `/places/`, and `/travel-styles/` with your own preferred names and URLs.
