URL redirects allow you to handle URLs which don't exist on your site and result in a 404 (not found). You can tell these 'broken links' to redirect to somewhere else.
Setting up URL redirects is handy if:
- Your migrating your store to Airsquare from another platform and the URLs are different.
- You've changed the URL path for a page/product/event/article and want the old link to still work.
- You're sending an email newsletter and sent the wrong link to everyone!
- You want to create shorter URLs which you want to share in emails, over the phone or social media.
Setting up a URL redirect just requires the old URL path (link that doesn't exist) and the new URL path (where you want it to go to).
How do I add a URL redirect?
- Go to Website > Settings > URL redirects.
- Click Add.
- Enter the Old URL path (link that doesn't exist).
- Enter the New URL path (where you want it to go to on your site).
- Click Add.
Note the URL paths must start with a forward slash '/'.
