Changed a page's address, or moved to Attract from an older website? A redirect sends anyone who visits the old address to the right page. Old links, bookmarks and search results keep working. A redirect only catches addresses on your site's own domain. If your old website used a different domain, that domain must also point at your Attract site first. Ask Fetchski Support to set that up. **Who can do this:** Contributors, Editors, Admins and Owners. There's no draft: a redirect works as soon as you save it. ## Before you start * Know the old address, starting from the first slash after your domain. For `www.parkerspuppyplayland.example/daycare-info`, that's `/daycare-info`. * Know where it should go: a page on your site, or a full web address elsewhere. ## Add a redirect **1. Open Redirects** Open the command palette (⌘K, or Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose **Redirects**. The shortcut is G then D. ![The Manage Redirects window listing three of Parker's redirects (Booking link, Old blog posts, Old daycare page), with New Redirect ringed.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/DSJs5HmTF1-gpNT3/images/cms/guides/build-pages/redirects/guides-build-pages-redirects-manager-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=DSJs5HmTF1-gpNT3\&q=85\&s=b9f2cf6087bed910baf77e5af4ab82ff) All your redirects in one list. **2. Start a new one** Choose **New Redirect**. **3. Name it** In **Description**, write a note for yourself, such as "Old daycare page". Visitors never see it. **4. Enter the old address** In **Old URL**, type it with the leading slash and no slash at the end, such as `/daycare-info` (not `/daycare-info/`). **5. Choose where it goes** Under **Link Type**, choose **Internal Page** to pick a page on your site, then use **Browse Pages** under **Page Title**. Or choose **URL** and type a full web address. **6. Choose the type** Under **Redirect Type**, keep **Permanent (status code 301)** for a page that has moved for good, or choose **Temporary (status code 302)** for a short-term move. Browsers and search engines remember a permanent redirect, so a mistake can stick around after you fix it. If you're unsure, save it as **Temporary**, test it, then change it to **Permanent**. **7. Save** Choose **Save**. The redirect works straight away. ![The New Redirect window filled in: Description "Old daycare page", Old URL "/daycare-info", Link Type Internal Page, Page Title "Daycare", Redirect Type Permanent; Save ringed.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/DSJs5HmTF1-gpNT3/images/cms/guides/build-pages/redirects/guides-build-pages-redirects-new-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=DSJs5HmTF1-gpNT3\&q=85\&s=63d6688f84213533aa5a416c4e8331c8) A permanent redirect from an old address to a page. Leave **Slug** as it is: it fills itself in. Test it: open a private browser window and visit the old address. You should land on the new page. ## Redirect a whole group of addresses Use one `*` to stand for the rest of an address. It must take the place of a whole part between slashes, and it can't come straight after the first slash. * **Everything to one page.** Old URL `/old-blog/*`, **Internal Page** "Blog". Every old post address goes to your blog. * **Keep the end of the address.** Old URL `/old-blog/*`, **URL** `https://www.parkerspuppyplayland.example/blog/*`. The part the `*` matched goes into the new address, so `/old-blog/puppy-tips` lands on `/blog/puppy-tips`. When two redirects fit the same address, the more exact one wins: * An exact match always wins over a `*`. With `/old-blog/*` going to your blog and `/old-blog/puppy-tips` going to a Training page, a visit to `/old-blog/puppy-tips` lands on Training. * Between two `*` redirects, the longer old address wins. With `/old-blog/*` and `/old-blog/2024/*`, a visit to `/old-blog/2024/spring-party` follows `/old-blog/2024/*`. ## Addresses with a question mark Some old addresses end in extras after a `?`, such as `/book?ref=flyer`. * **Ignore query string when matching**: turn on **Yes** so `/book` also catches `/book?ref=flyer` and every other ending. * **Forward query string**: turn on **Yes** to carry the `?…` part over to the new address. It isn't carried over on `*` redirects. ## Change or remove a redirect Open **Redirects**, choose the redirect to edit it, and choose **Save**. To stop one, select it in the list and choose **Archive**. ## What happens next Visitors to the old address land on the new one straight away. With **Permanent**, search engines move the old address's place in their results to the new page over time. ## Troubleshooting > [accordion] Infinite redirect: Old URL cannot be the same as URL > > The redirect points at itself. Change the **URL** to the new address, or the **Old URL** to the old one. > [accordion] The Old URL won't save > > Check the address: > > * It starts with `/` and doesn't end with one: `/daycare-info`, not `/daycare-info/`. > * It has at most one `*`, standing alone between slashes, and not straight after the first slash. > * You can't redirect your whole site with `/*`. > [accordion] The old address still opens the old page > > * Capital letters count: `/Daycare-Info` and `/daycare-info` are different addresses. Add a redirect for each one people use. > * Is the extra `?…` part getting in the way? Turn on **Ignore query string when matching**. > * Is the page it points to published? A redirect to an unpublished page does nothing. > * Your browser may remember an earlier version.
