How to Redirect in Wordpress





Redirect Post Or Page
1. Log in to the admin area of your WordPress site. Click 'Plugins' on the left-side menu bar, then click 'Add New.' In the search box, type 'Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin' and press enter. This is a free plugin for WordPress that lets you easily redirect posts and pages.
2. Find 'Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin' on the results page and click 'Install Now.' Wait for the plugin to install, then click 'Activate Plugin.'

3. Click 'Redirect Menu' on the left-hand menu bar, then click 'Quick Redirects.' You will see two text boxes. One is under the header 'Request' -- in here, put the URL of the page you want to redirect, excluding the domain name. For example, type /my-post/ instead of http://mysite.com/my-post/. The other box is labelled 'Destination' -- this is where you want the post to redirect to. Type the URL in full in this box. This can be any URL -- it does not have to be on your own site.
4. Click 'Save Changes.' Whenever a visitor attempts to access the pages listed under 'Request,' he will be redirected to the corresponding destination.
Changing Permalinks
5. Log in to the admin area of your WordPress site. Click 'Plugins' on the left-side menu bar, then click 'Add New.' In the search box, type 'Permalinks Moved Permanently' and press enter. This is another free plugin. Whenever a visitor searches for a link that does not exist, the plugin searches for another post with the same slug -- the last part of the URL, usually containing the post title -- and if it finds one, redirects the visitor there.
6. Find 'Permalinks Moved Permanently' in the search results, and click 'Install Now' just below it.
7. Wait for the plugin to install, and click 'Active Plugin' when prompted to do so. No further actions are necessary -- the plugin is now installed and running, and will redirect visitors to the correct locations of your posts.
