Ever clicked an old link to one of your own posts and landed on a 404 error page? That usually happens because the URL changed, but a proper redirect wasn’t set up.
Fixing it takes a couple of minutes, and it doesn’t involve any code. Most people use an SEO plugin for this, but you can also add redirects yourself in your site’s .htaccess file.
In this guide, we’ll walk through both, so you can send old links to the right page and keep the search rankings that page earned.

What Is a WordPress Redirect?
In WordPress, a redirect sends your website visitors and search engines from one URL to another. Redirects are often used to fix broken links, replace outdated URLs, or point an old URL to a new one.
They also tell search engines that your content has moved, so you can pass the search authority (link juice) from an old page to a new one.
There are a few different types of redirects that every WordPress site owner must know:
- 301 Moved Permanently: Use this when a URL has changed permanently, such as after changing a permalink, moving or merging content, deleting a page and replacing it, or switching from HTTP to HTTPS. You should also use a 301 redirect when moving your site to a new domain. It passes the original page’s SEO value to the new URL.
- 302 Found: Use this when the change is only temporary, such as during website maintenance, a limited-time campaign, or while a page or product is temporarily unavailable.
- 410 Gone: This isn’t a redirect. Instead, it tells search engines that a page has been permanently removed and won’t be coming back. It’s the right choice when you delete a page that doesn’t have a suitable replacement.
For most WordPress websites, a 301 redirect is the right choice because most URL changes are permanent.
How to Create a Redirect in WordPress With a Plugin (Easy Method)
The easiest way to create a redirect in WordPress is with a plugin. For most websites, we recommend the free 404 to 301 – Redirect Manager plugin because it lets you create custom redirects and track broken links from one dashboard.
At WPBeginner, we use All in One SEO for redirection though because it’s the SEO plugin we use and it comes with a Redirect Manager. Most Pro versions of popular SEO plugins, including Yoast SEO and Rank Math, include one too.
However, for this tutorial, we’ll use the free features in 404 to 301 because they provide everything most WordPress websites need.
First, install and activate the 404 to 301 – Redirect Manager plugin. If you need help, then see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
After activation, go to 404 to 301 » Redirects and click the ‘Add Redirect’ button.
In the popup that appears, enter the old URL in the ‘Source URL or pattern’ field.
Next, choose where you want to send visitors in the ‘Target URL’ field. You can redirect them to a custom URL, an existing page on your site, or choose not to redirect the URL.
Next, select a ‘Redirect Status.’ For most URL changes, you’ll want to use ‘301 – Moved Permanently (SEO)’, which tells browsers and search engines that the page has permanently moved.
If you need a different type, then you can pick one from the dropdown menu.
When you’re ready, simply click ‘Create Redirect’. Your redirect is now active, and anyone visiting the old URL will be automatically sent to the new destination.
After creating a redirect, you should test it to make sure it sends visitors and search engines to the correct page.
Simply visit the old URL in your incognito or private browsing window to see if it redirects you to the new page instead of showing a 404 error. This prevents the browser cache from showing your old page instead.
You can also use a free online redirect checker tool, like Redirect Checker, to confirm your redirect is returning the correct HTTP status code, such as 301 Moved Permanently.
How to Create Redirects Manually With .htaccess (Advanced)
If you don’t want to use a redirect plugin, then you can create redirects by editing your website’s .htaccess file. This method is best for advanced users because even a small mistake can cause your website to stop working.
Note that this method only works if your host runs Apache or LiteSpeed. Standalone Nginx has no .htaccess file, so if your host runs Nginx, then use the plugin method above or ask your host to add the redirect for you.
Before making any changes, we recommend creating a complete WordPress backup so you can quickly restore your site if something goes wrong.
Next, connect to your website using an FTP client or your hosting provider’s File Manager. Then, navigate to your site’s root folder (usually public_html) and locate the .htaccess file.
Note: If you don’t see the .htaccess file, make sure your FTP client or File Manager is set to show hidden files, since files that begin with a period are hidden by default.
Open the file in a text editor and add the following line above the #BEGIN WordPress line:
Redirect 301 /old-page/ https://example.com/new-page/
Replace /old-page/ with the path of the old page and https://example.com/new-page/ with the full URL of the new page.
Save the file and upload it back to your website if you’re using FTP. If you’re editing the file in your hosting account’s File Manager, then simply click the ‘Save Changes’ button.
Finally, visit the old URL in your browser to make sure it automatically redirects to the new page.
How to Redirect a WordPress Page After Changing Its Permalink
If you change a post’s permalink, then you should redirect the old URL to the new one. This prevents visitors from landing on a 404 error page and helps search engines find the updated URL.
When you change a post’s slug, WordPress remembers the old one and redirects it to the new URL automatically. It does not do this for pages, so a renamed page’s old URL returns a 404 until you create the redirect yourself.
With the 404 to 301 plugin, you can automatically create these redirects whenever you change a post or page slug.
Go to 404 to 301 » Settings and enable ‘Monitor post slug changes’ in the ‘General’ tab. Then, click the ‘Save Changes’ button to store your settings.
From now on, the plugin will automatically create a redirect whenever you rename a post or page slug.
For more details, see our guide on how to redirect a page or URL in WordPress.
How to Redirect a Deleted Page in WordPress
If you delete a page, then it’s a good idea to decide what should happen when someone visits its old URL. Use a 301 redirect if you’ve replaced the page with newer content, or a 410 Gone response if the page isn’t worth keeping, like a thank-you page, for example.
To return a 410 Gone response, follow the same steps as above to create a redirect. This time, choose ‘No Redirect’ as the ‘Target Type’ and ‘410 – Gone’ as the ‘Redirect Status’ before clicking ‘Create Redirect’.
How to Redirect Multiple URLs to One Page in WordPress
Sometimes you need to send several old URLs to the same new page. For example, you might merge a few outdated tiny travel guides into one comprehensive travel guide.
Instead of creating a separate redirect for each URL, you can match multiple URLs with a single redirect rule.
Follow the same steps above to create a redirect, but this time, choose ‘Prefix’ or ‘Regex’ as the ‘Match Type’ when you enter the ‘Source URL or pattern’.
For example, choose ‘Prefix’ if you want to redirect every URL that starts with /travel/japan/, such as /travel/japan/tokyo-guide, to your new Japan travel guide. Choose ‘Regex’ only if you need to match more complex URL patterns.
Then, complete the remaining fields using the steps we described earlier and create your redirect.
If you have a large number of redirects to create, then you don’t have to add them one by one. The free Redirects Importer add-on lets you import redirects from a CSV file, which makes it much faster to add multiple redirects at once.
How to Redirect an Entire WordPress Website to a New Domain
If you’re moving your WordPress website to a new domain, then you’ll need to set up a full site redirect.
This automatically sends visitors and search engines from your old domain to the matching pages on your new domain, which helps preserve your traffic and SEO.
Before setting up the redirect, make sure your website has already been moved to the new domain and is working correctly. See our guide on how to properly move WordPress to a new domain without losing SEO.
If you’re using a plugin that doesn’t support this feature, then you can redirect your entire domain at the server level using the .htaccess file or your web host’s redirect tools.
If you’re already using All in One SEO Pro, then you can create a full site redirect directly from your WordPress dashboard instead.
Simply go to All in One SEO » Redirects » Full Site Redirect, enable the ‘Relocate Site’ option, enter your new domain, and save your changes.
If you plan to cancel your old hosting account, then you’ll need to set up the redirect at the server or hosting level instead. Otherwise, visitors to your old domain won’t be redirected because WordPress will no longer be running.
For full details, see our guide on how to redirect an entire WordPress website.
How to Track 404 Errors and Redirect Broken Links in WordPress
A 404 error appears when someone tries to visit a page on your website that no longer exists. This can happen after you change a URL, delete a page, or when another website links to an outdated URL.
If you’re using the 404 to 301 plugin, then go to 404 to 301 » 404 Logs to see a list of broken URLs that visitors have tried to access on your website.
404 logging is enabled by default, but you can review or change these settings anytime under 404 to 301 » Settings » Logs.
The log shows the broken URL, it’s referring page, how many times the error occurred, its current status, and when it was last seen. This makes it easy to identify the most important broken links to fix first.
If you find a URL that should point to another page, then click ‘Actions’ next to it and choose ‘Custom redirect’.
The plugin automatically fills in the ‘Source URL or pattern’ field. Complete the remaining fields using the same steps described earlier, then create your redirect.
You can also check the Page indexing » Not found (404) report in Google Search Console to see broken URLs that Google has discovered while crawling your website.
Frequently Asked Questions About WordPress Redirects
301 vs. 302 redirects: what’s the difference?
A 301 redirect tells browsers and search engines that a page has moved permanently. A 302 redirect indicates the move is temporary and the original URL will be used again. In most cases, you should use a 301 when permanently changing a page’s URL.
What’s the difference between a 301 redirect and a canonical tag?
Both help search engines understand your content, but they do different jobs. Use a 301 redirect when a page has permanently moved and you want visitors and search engines sent to the new URL.
Use a canonical tag when several pages have the same or similar content that should all stay accessible, but you want search engines to treat one as the primary version.
What causes a redirect loop in WordPress?
A redirect loop happens when a URL redirects back to itself, either directly or through another redirect. This prevents the page from loading because the browser gets stuck following redirects. Reviewing your redirect rules usually helps identify and fix the problem.
Should you redirect all 404 pages to your homepage?
No. Redirecting every 404 page to your homepage can confuse visitors because the content they expected isn’t there. Google may also treat these homepage redirects as soft 404s, meaning it recognizes that the original content is still missing.
Instead, redirect each broken URL to the most relevant page on your website. If there isn’t a suitable replacement, then it’s usually better to leave the page as a 404 or return a 410 Gone response if the content has been permanently removed.
If you’d rather keep visitors on your site, then you can also design a helpful custom 404 page that guides them to your popular content instead of a dead end.
Can I redirect a WordPress page to another website?
Yes. When creating a redirect, simply enter the external URL as the destination instead of another page on your website. This is useful if you’ve moved content to a different domain or want visitors to reach a resource hosted elsewhere.

Hi, thanks for the helpful article above.
I have switched the permalink format from plain to post, and used the AISEO Pro Redirect function to redirect to the new page URLs. That all seems to be working fine – but now I can’t edit the pages. The system seems to be looking for the original plain format page address to edit. Help!
Thanks in advance for your advice. Nick
WPBeginner Support
The WordPress editor uses the Post ID so changing the permalinks should not affect the editor. Please be sure to clear any caching and if you’re on a localhost installation, ensure you have mod_rewrite enabled in the tool you are using.

what should I do with the original page after redirecting? Is it better to delete or unpublished?
WPBeginner Comments
As long as proper redirects are in place, you could choose to delete the page if you are certain you no longer need it.
However, sometimes it can be a good idea to turn it into a draft in case you need to reference it later.

If you wanted it to go to a completely new URL, you would want to place the full URL in the target URL field.

If the redirect is not in the plugin, you would want to check your htaccess file or reach out to your hosting provider for their assistance with finding the redirect.

If I’m redirecting several web pages (not posts), do I make duplicates of the code you showed above (both lines 1 and 2) for each of the new page I am redirecting? And do I keep copying those codes at the bottom of the .htaccess file?
I read another article that suggests adding redirection codes in the functions.php file in the theme folder. The code is long and seems complicated. But I wonder, which option is more efficient — editing the .htaccess or editing the functions.php?
WPBeginner Support
You would add a new version of the second line of code, you only need the first line once. For where the redirect happens it is personal preference on which method is best.

Hi
Apparently my site has a 301 redirect on it, but I cannot discover where this is, nor what it is redirecting. There is nothing in the htaccess file. The site was originally built using a different name on localhost, and all the urls were changed to become the new domain name. Could this be the problem? How do I track down where the 301 is because it is causing problems with the SSL certificate. Thanks
WPBeginner Support
Updating the urls shouldn’t be an issue if they were updated correctly. If you reach out to your hosting provider they should be able to help you find what is causing the redirect.

Can I use “page links to” and “redirection” one the same site?
They seem like they serve different needs, but I have seen warnings that you shouldn’t use more than one redirection plugin at a time. True?
I like redirection features, but I like having something on the “edit post” view that I can use to set up a redirect (e.g., teaser/excerpt linking out to a landing page or to another site). Thanks!

We would not recommend using the two plugins at the same time to prevent any conflicts between the two, you could check with the plugin authors for if there is a recommended method for the two plugins to work together.

I migrated a WP website to a new domain and set up a redirect from the old domain to the new one within cPanel. The redirects are nearly instantaneous (that’s good, right?) but I’d like to delay them for a few seconds, long enough to display a screen on the old homepage explaining why they’re being redirected.
I’m not a programmer. Is there a plugin that will allow me to adjust the time before the redirect occurs? TIA

Hi, I have been using the redirection plugin for a while now trying to sort my old posts out from when I first started ( the permalinks were awful )
What I have been doing is creating another post with a better permalink and copy and pasting the content from the old URL to the new one and then 301 redirecting them.
After reading this post I’m starting to think that I don’t need to create a completely new post but just change the permalink on the old one and redirect it like that, Am I Correct?
If so, can I delete all the old duplicate posts from before or should I leave them as they are?
Thanks if you can help
WPBeginner Support
Correct you can modify the permalink and redirect without the need for the old post to be active. As long as the redirects are in place you can remove the old posts if you wanted.
Admin

So just to clarify, I can delete the old posts that I copied and pasted into a new one and redirected the URL, and that all I have to do is to modify the permalink and not copy and paste the whole URL into a different post but just redirect the old permalink to the new one?

You would first want to take a look at your plugins if any of them are designed for redirects you would want to see if that is set there. If none of those are causing the redirect you would want to see if the redirect is created in your htaccess file or under Settings>General if the address was changed there.

does this work the same for 302 redirects in an htaccess file? A client has asked to 302 redirect around 800 urls from a wordpress site to a Wix site. There are moments when it all operates fine, then we get several 404’s. Not sure if it’s because there are way too many urls or if we are overlooking something?
WPBeginner Support
The htaccess method would work for 302 redirects if you changed the number to 302. 302 redirects are temporary which could be part of your problem as well as your caching.

Hello! I just created a website on Wordpress.org and imported all of my content from my old site, example.wordpress.com (using Wordpress.com). Is there a way to redirect all of the content from that site to my new one? The redirect instructions provided by Wordpress gave me an error that the domain already exists, probably because it thought I was trying to create a new domain on Wordpress.com.
My website traffic before is pretty minimal, so if anyone clicks on previous blog posts on my social channels, they’d be taken to the shut down version of my old site without the redirects – not the end of the world because I don’t have the following that would generate clicks at a later date, but you never know?
Any advice anyone has would be great!
Thanks,
Hannah
