With the limitations of being locked to the Elevate’s theme and listing page of the beta case studies functionality - how do you delete or disable it without impacting any SEO/AEO juice you might have had?
I can change the slug of the Beta to allow me the space to create native /case-studies and /case-studies/xxx pages - but can’t unpublish the renamed Beta page.
Hey @nick_flude,
Thanks for posting in the Community!
I’d like to tag in some Community experts to see what insight they may have here!
@Josh, @RomyFuchs1, and @Anton - any thoughts?

Hey @nick_flude,
personally I haven’t touched the case studies beta yet, but something you could do (if you don’t want to use the beta at all and not be bound to the Elevate theme) is:
- Create a new blog, call it case-studies (or what ever you like), create your desired layout for the case study listing and detail page and move every entry over - if you use the same URLs, there shouldn’t be a huge SEO/AEO impact
- You can use HubDB and the dynamic pages function of it to create a custom layout/functionality (very similar to a blog but with some twists.
In general:
If your case studies aren’t published for a long time, you can create permanent redirects (301) but make sure to not create so-called redirect loops as those aren’t great for SEO (and AEO).
best,
Anton
