00:00.509 --> 00:02.750
Welcome to redirecting a page , a part

00:02.750 --> 00:04.861
of the website maintenance microvideo

00:04.861 --> 00:07.028
learning series . While there are many

00:07.028 --> 00:08.972
reasons to redirect a page on your

00:08.972 --> 00:11.194
website , the steps are quite short and

00:11.194 --> 00:13.194
simple . So let's get started . I'm

00:13.194 --> 00:15.417
going to log into my site and head over

00:15.417 --> 00:17.250
to the pages area located in the

00:17.250 --> 00:19.306
content section of the persona bar .

00:20.030 --> 00:22.252
Once Pages has opened up , I can see my

00:22.252 --> 00:24.819
entire website in tree form . So I'm

00:24.819 --> 00:26.819
going to search through the tree of

00:26.819 --> 00:28.819
pages and select the page I want to

00:28.819 --> 00:30.986
redirect . Now that I have my specific

00:30.986 --> 00:33.152
page selected by clicking on it , I'll

00:33.152 --> 00:35.375
look in the details section of the page

00:35.375 --> 00:38.000
for my page type . To redirect to a URL ,

00:38.080 --> 00:40.136
you will select the radio button for

00:40.136 --> 00:43.139
URL . Next , you'll enter the full URL

00:43.139 --> 00:45.361
to where you want to redirect this page

00:45.361 --> 00:47.779
to , either by typing it in or by copy

00:47.779 --> 00:50.810
pasting the full URL into the URL field .

00:51.889 --> 00:53.667
Next , if this is going to be a

00:53.667 --> 00:55.445
permanent redirect , toggle the

00:55.445 --> 00:57.611
permanent redirect switch to on . This

00:57.611 --> 00:59.833
will tell users and search engines that

00:59.833 --> 01:01.889
this resource is now a permanent URL

01:01.889 --> 01:04.709
for this page . Next , toggle on the

01:04.709 --> 01:06.709
open in new window if you wish this

01:06.709 --> 01:08.765
page to open in a new window for the

01:08.765 --> 01:10.820
viewer . If this is not toggled on ,

01:10.820 --> 01:13.042
the page will open in the same tab . If

01:13.042 --> 01:15.153
you wish to redirect to a file like a

01:15.153 --> 01:17.510
PDF on your site , you'll simply select

01:17.510 --> 01:19.489
the radio button next to the file

01:19.489 --> 01:21.830
option in the page type section of the

01:21.830 --> 01:25.620
details tab . Next , click on the drag

01:25.620 --> 01:28.379
and drop a file or select option area

01:28.379 --> 01:30.779
to locate the file , browse to your

01:30.779 --> 01:34.599
directory , or enter a URL link . Next ,

01:34.720 --> 01:36.831
toggle on the permanent redirect link

01:36.831 --> 01:39.053
if you wish this link to be a permanent

01:39.053 --> 01:41.360
redirect . Then toggle on the Open a

01:41.360 --> 01:43.582
new link window if you wish to have the

01:43.582 --> 01:45.949
link open in a new tab for the viewer .

01:46.599 --> 01:48.766
Now you'll want to check the remaining

01:48.766 --> 01:50.988
settings on the details of this page to

01:50.988 --> 01:53.043
ensure the page works the same as it

01:53.043 --> 01:55.210
did before . I still want this page to

01:55.210 --> 01:57.377
appear in my menu , and I like all the

01:57.377 --> 01:59.432
other settings from the way the page

01:59.432 --> 02:01.543
was before , so I'll keep the rest of

02:01.543 --> 02:03.710
the settings the same , and I'll click

02:03.710 --> 02:03.239
save to save all my changes on this

02:03.239 --> 02:05.900
page . Congratulations , you've just

02:05.900 --> 02:08.122
redirected the page to a new resource .

02:08.419 --> 02:10.252
As a note , once a page has been

02:10.252 --> 02:12.086
redirected , it's a good idea to

02:12.086 --> 02:14.197
complete a content purge on that page

02:14.197 --> 02:16.363
to push the new settings live faster .

02:16.500 --> 02:18.500
Also , this redirection will change

02:18.500 --> 02:20.667
your current site map , so you'll need

02:20.667 --> 02:22.611
to rebuild your site map so it can

02:22.611 --> 02:24.611
display the new settings and page .

02:24.611 --> 02:26.833
Don't forget to watch all the videos in

02:26.833 --> 02:28.944

02:28.944 --> 02:28.850
