At Raidboxes, you do not need any additional plugins to set redirects and redirect rules. You can set them directly in the Forwards settings of your Box.
When should I use 301 redirects?
301 redirects are permanent redirects. Only use this type when you want to permanently redirect the source URL to the target URL, e.g. if you want to rework your URL structure.
When should I use 302 redirects?
If you're not sure whether the redirect should be permanent, use this temporary redirect type.
When do I need regular expressions?
You can use regular expressions to redirect entire groups of URLs. With regular expressions, you create redirect rules, also known as rewrite rules. If you only want to set individual redirects, you don't need to use this feature.
Important: Regular expressions always work in the same way. If you're not exactly sure how to write regular expressions, you can check your expression with the tool regex101.
How to set up a redirect
From the Settings tab of your Box, go to the Forwards menu item and select URL redirects.
You can now set up a new redirect. Select Add new redirect, fill in the required fields and confirm your entry by clicking on Save.
How to enter the values
Both source and destination URLs always refer to the domain displayed on your page. If you enter the following redirect, your homepage will always redirect to the product subpage.
Important: For internal redirects, you only need to enter the path here, not the complete URL.
If you want to forward a URL of your site to an external site, you always need to enter the complete URL of the target page.
After saving your redirect rule, it can take up to five minutes for the redirect to become active.
