How To Redirect 1 Page

There’s at least 5 ways to redirect 1 page to another, all tested.

1. The easiest method if you’re using a theme like Genesis, is to use the Theme SEO Settings on the Edit Page screen you want to redirect like this:

2. Another method is to place a directive in your .htaccess file located in the root directory of your WordPress installation like this:

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /old https://wpsites.net/new

The above code redirects a page with the slug old to a page on the same domain with a slug named new.

You can also use:

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /old /new

3. Install a Redirection plugin

This method might cause a increase in the the usage of server resources.

4. Use PHP code in your child themes functions file:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_external_url' );
function redirect_to_external_url() {
    if ( is_page( 'old' ) ) {
      wp_redirect( 'http://www.example.com/', 301 ); 
	  exit;
    }
}

5. You can also use the built in redirects feature your web host provides.
