Add Redirect

You can redirect your site visitors from one URL to another. This is useful if you are redirecting traffic from a deleted page and want to be sure that your visitors end up on the correct new pages, or if you want to have some shorter vanity URLs within your site for marketing purposes.

Note: Automatic redirects are created if a page changes the URL path through a title change, menu placement, etc.

Add a New Redirect

Great for adding a redirect on a single page.

  1. Navigate to the page you'd like to place the redirect, and enter the Edit mode for the page.
  2. In the Configuration sidebar, Expand the URL redirects section.
  3. Click Add URL redirect.

Configure URL redirect

  1. From: enter the URL path you want to redirect. The path must be a URL within your site. 

  2. To: Enter the destination of the redirect. The destination must be a URL within your site. (example /training/web-core)

    Note: Use the URL path alias, instead of the node number of the page. This will help all site maintainers to be able to see what URL paths are being redirected easily. If you use the node number it will make troubleshooting any issues more cumbersome to correct. Do not use the full URL for internal content.


    This will not work if the path is already in use by content on your site. In that case, you should use the node/nodeID path for the redirect.

  3. Advanced Options: Unless you know what the redirect status codes do, it is best to leave the advanced options in the default state.
  4. Click Save.
