STEP 4
Change the existing Post Title to title of your new post
STEP 5
Click on Edit next to Permalink under post title
There has been an update where saving after entering your post title will change the permalink to the new post title.
For me editing manually ensures you have the permalink as you want it.

This must be the same as post title above
If you are using a very long post title shorten the permalink but keep your target keyword (if you are using one) in the permalink for SEO
