How to setup URL Redirects

Modified on Tue, 2 Jul at 8:56 AM

We added the ability to setup 301 URL Redirects from within the Pegboard CMS. In the settings menu you will notice a new option called URL Redirects. This allows you to map from one URL to another. This is commonly needed when the old page doesn't exist. e.g. transition to a new website OR the page location or name has changed.


e.g.

Original URL: http://domain.com/index.php

New URL: http://domain.com/default.aspx


Original URL: http://domain.com/news.aspx

New URL: http://domain.com/latest-news.aspx


Please note that use all common extension in the URL redirects option. Also, we have added wildcard matching to 301 redirects so that you can now append a '*' to the end of the url


e.g:

Original URL: http://domain.com*

New URL: http://www.domain.com*


OR


Original URL: http://www.domain.com/old_folder/*

New URL: http://www.domain.com/new_folder/*


Note: if both the above entries are added to 301 redirects, then these will cascade

ie: a request to: http://domain.com/old_folder/page.aspx

will be redirected to: http://www.domain.com/new_folder/page.aspx
