Cosmos Version 1.4.0 Released

by Cosmos | Feb 17, 2016 | News, Version Releases | 0 comments

Version 1.4.0 of Cosmos adds pretty permalink support.

What this means is that instead of relying on ugly URL parameters, such as:

http://yoursite.com/landing-page/?clothing=t-shirts

You will be able to use a standard URL! The above becomes:

http://yoursite.com/landing-page/clothing/t-shirts/

Don’t worry, if you still want to use standard url parameters, you can!

UTM codes will still be able to be used for both tracking and generating dynamic content on your landing pages.
