Redirects allow you to divert traffic from one page to another. Redirects are especially helpful when you want to direct traffic from an old page to a new one.

Accessing Redirects

  1. Log in as an admin (How to Login).
  2. Hover over your profile within the liveedit toolbar then select Account Settings.
  3. Click on the Redirects tab.


Redirecting a single page

You can redirect any single page to a new internal page of your LiveEdit website or to an external page. For this example, let’s redirect on old pricing page (/pricing-2020) to a new one (/pricing-2021): 

  1. Navigate to the Redirects Tab 

  2. Click the Add Redirect button 

  3. In the Pattern field, add in ^\/ + Page URL+ $. For example: ^\/pricing-2020$
    Note that the “\/” is a backslash and forward slash 

  4. In the Redirect To field, add in the new page. For example: /pricing-2021 

  5. In the Type selector, select Permanent 

  6. Click Add Redirect



Redirect multiple pages with a Wildcard

A wild card redirect allows you to redirect multiple pages to one. For example, let’s say you want to redirect your pricing page (/pricing) and anything that comes after it (/pricing1, /pricing2, /pricing3) to a new pricing page.

  1. Navigate to the Redirects Tab 

  2. Click the Add Redirect button

  3. In the Pattern field, add in ^\/? + Page URL. For example: ^\/?pricing
    Note that the “\/” is a backslash and forward slash 

  4. In the Redirect To field, add in the new page. For example: /pricing-new

  5. In the Type selector, select Permanent 

  6. Click Add Redirect    


Remove /pages/ in the URL structure

By default, all internal pages include "/pages/" in the URL structure. To remove this and simplify the URL, add the following redirect:

  1. Navigate to the Redirects Tab 

  2. Click the Add Redirect button

  3. In the Pattern field, add in ^\/pages\/([^\/]*)$
    Note that the “\/” is a backslash and forward slash 

  4. In the Redirect To field, add in /$1 

  5. In the Type selector, select Permanent 

  6. Click Add Redirect


Remove /services in the URL structure

By default, all internal service pages, such as the Blog and Recipe, include "/services/" in the URL structure. To remove this and simplify the URL, add the following redirect:

  1. Navigate to the Redirects Tab 

  2. Click the Add Redirect button
  3. In the Pattern field, add in ^\/service\/([^\/]*)$
    Note that the “\/” is a backslash and forward slash 
  4. In the Redirect To field, add in /$1 
  5. In the Type selector, select Permanent 
  6. Click Add Redirect 


Remove /home in the URL structure

If your Homepage has the URL of "/home", you can simplify it with the following redirect:

  1. Navigate to the Redirects Tab 

  2. Click the Add Redirect button
  3. In the Pattern field, add in ^\/home$
    Note that the “\/” is a backslash and forward slash 
  4. In the Redirect To field, add in / 
  5. In the Type selector, select Permanent 
  6. Click Add Redirect

Tips:

  • If you get a "Please provide a valid pattern." error message when attempting to save, make sure your redirect has no spaces. 
  • If you have multiple redirects and looking for a specific one, try using the Search field in the top right!
  • If you delete a page, make sure to redirect the URL to a new page to ensure customers do not land on a "404 page not found" error. 
  • Choose 301 (permanent) if you don’t plan on removing the redirect. 
  • Choose 302 (temporary) if the redirect will be removed eventually.
