The URL redirects feature allows you to specify a custom URL for a piece of content, which will redirect users to the content when accessed. This can be useful if you want to use a shorter or more memorable URL for the content, or if you want to redirect users from an old URL to a new URL.

To use the URL redirects feature when editing content, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the URL redirects tab in the content editor.
  2. Click on Add URL redirect to add additional redirect to the content.
  3. Enter the custom URL that you want to use for the content in the Redirect from field.
  4. If desired, select the Redirect status option to specify the type of redirect that should be used. The options include 301 Moved Permanently, 302 Found, and 303 See Other.
  5. Click the Save button to save your changes.

Note:

  • Clicking on Add URL redirect will open a new tab.
  • Click on Edit or Delete for the specific redirect will not open a new tab and all changes not saved will be lost.

Now, when users access the custom URL that you specified, they will be automatically redirected to the content. The URL redirects feature can be useful for maintaining the integrity of your site's URLs and for making it easier for users to access your content.
