Redirect an old page address

Create a permanent redirect so an old link takes visitors to the replacement page.

1. Create a redirect

Click Redirects under Settings & routing, then click Create New.

Select the image to view it full size.

2. Enter the old path

In From URL, enter the path after your website domain, such as /en/old-guide. Use the exact old address; wildcards do not match a group of pages.

Select the image to view it full size.

3. Choose the replacement

In To URL Type, choose Internal link and select Document to redirect to, or choose Custom URL and enter its working address. The destination must differ from From URL and must not redirect back to it.

Select the image to view it full size.

4. Save and test the old link

Click Save to create the redirect. Allow about five minutes for it to take effect, then open the old address on your website’s public domain and check that it reaches the replacement.

Select the image to view it full size.

Test the replacement before saving and update links you control to use it directly. Some old article slugs, language paths and property short links redirect automatically, so they may not appear in this list.
