Adding a Redirect

To get started, edit any content and click on the Redirects tab in the AIOSEO Settings section.

You'll see the same settings as you'd see in the Redirection Manager, except that the Source URL is already populated with the URL for your post or page.

To redirect this post or page, enter the URL you want to redirect to in the Target URL field. The URL can be either a relative URL or an absolute URL.

You can also start typing the title of any post, page or other content on your site, or the slug or ID in the Target URL field and the matching content will be displayed. Click on the post or page you want to select as your target.

In the Redirect Type drop down, select the type of redirect you want. The two most common are:

  • 301 Moved Permanently: Use this if you want to permanently redirect the old URL because the content has been deleted or moved.
  • 307 Temporary Redirect: Use this if you only want to temporarily redirect the old URL.
