Redirects manager

This page describes settings used for redirecting from temporarily disabled, deleted or irrelevant pages.
Configurations can be found in Marketing -> Advanced SEO Suite -> Redirects -> Add redirect/Edit.

General information​

  • Request URL: defines the URL address from which user will be redirected. Wildcards are allowed.
  • Target URL: defines the URL address to which user will be redirected.
    tip

    If you need redirect from /dames/tops, /dames/tops/bjorn-borg
    to /dames/bralette, /dames/bralette/bjorn-borg
    you can use /dames/tops[redirect_chain] as Request URL and /dames/bralette[redirect_chain] as Target URL.

  • Redirect type: sets HTTP response status code that will be used when redirecting:
    • 301 moved permanently: used for permanent redirecting, meaning that links or records returning this response should be updated.
    • 302 object moved: used when the requested resource has been temporarily moved to a new location.
    • 307 temporary redirect: used when URL someone is requesting has temporarily moved to a different URI(user resource identifier), but will eventually be back in its original location.
  • Redirect only if the request URL can't be found (404): if Yes is selected, redirect will work only if Requested URL returns 404 error.
    tip

    This configuration is especially useful when dealing with 404 Not Found issues in Google Search Console.

  • Comments: sets the description for internal use. Visible only in admin panel.
  • Is active: this slider enables/disables rewrite.
  • Visible in store view: sets the scope of store views where redirect will be added.

Redirect list​

The redirect list at Marketing -> Advanced SEO Suite -> Redirects shows all redirect rules, including those generated automatically by the auto-redirect feature.

  • Source: indicates how the rule was created.
    • Manual: created manually in the admin panel or imported.
    • Auto: generated automatically when a product was disabled or deleted.
note

When a manual rule and an auto-generated rule share the same Request URL, the manual rule always takes priority. The auto-generated rule is skipped for that URL.

Auto-generated rules can be edited and removed the same way as manual rules. Re-enabling a disabled product removes its auto-generated rule automatically.
