Fix Broken Page Links

Sometimes content can change URLs and thus not be available to the end user or a user thinks they know the URL but is incorrect. To alleviate this Drupal keeps track of all content accessed and provides a list of the URLs which are missing. Drupal keeps track of how many times the content has tried to be accessed and provides an easy way to create a URL Redirect to help our users find the content they are looking for.

  1. From the admin panel, Manage » Quick Access » Fix Broken Page Links
  2. Browse the list of Broken Links which are sorted by Count with the highest number being at the top 
    OR 
    Filter the results using the filter box
  3. Click Add redirect in the row you wish to update
  4. Path has already been set from the Broken Link you chose
