If you want to set up redirects from one page to another on your site, there are several helpful WordPress plugins you can use:
It is important to remember two things when using these redirection plugins:
Use Relative URLs ( Use
/about/instead ofhttps://site.com/about/)Add Trailing Slash ( This has a trailing slash
/about/. This does not/about)
Below you will find instructions on how to use each of the plugins mentioned above.
How to Use the Redirection Plugin
Install and active the Redirection Plugin
Complete the plugin setup selecting the default options
Navigate to Tools > Redirection
Add a new redirection rule using relative links with trailing slashes
It is recommended that you use the URL Monitor feature (navigation to Tools > Redirections > Options), which will automatically create a redirect to the new URL when a post or page slug is changed.
A full publish is needed after a slug is changed and picked up by the redirection plugin in order for the redirect to work.

Can I use REGEX redirects on Strattic?
REGEX Redirects are redirects that use Regular Expressions to match multiple source URLs and send them all to the same destination. We're working on a feature to make this possible, but in the meantime, please contact our support team if you need one set up.
