How do I set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to a new one?

To set up 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones, go to site settings → SEO → 301 redirects. Enter the old and new page URLs without the domain, starting with a slash (/). Click add, then save the changes.

Redirects only work within the same domain. Redirect results may be cached by the browser. Often, after you change a redirect URL, the old rule may still be triggered. To check the redirect, use a third-party service such as http://www.redirect-checker.org/.

A 301 redirect only works for pages that do not exist. If you want to redirect users from one existing page to another, use the T223 block.


Redirect examples


Old page URL: /oldpage

New page URL: /newpage

Old page URL: /page32323.html

New page URL: /newpage


Redirect from old website URLs


Old page URL: /blog/page.php?xxx=yyy

New page URL: /mytrip


Redirect from multiple pages to one page


Old page URL: /blog/*

New page URL: /articles/

The * symbol means that any number of characters can appear after the slash. In this case, the redirect will work for any non-existent page whose URL starts with /blog/ after the domain.
