Redirects

When a page's address changes — you renamed the slug, restructured the site, or moved from an old website — visitors and search engines still follow the old links. Redirects catch those old addresses and forward them to the right page automatically.

How redirects work in Laravix#

A redirect belongs to a specific page or post and says: "whoever asks for this old address, send them to me." You manage redirects directly on the content they lead to.

Creating a redirect#

1. Open the target page or post for editing.
2. Scroll below the form to the Redirects panel.
3. Click the create button and fill in:
   • Old url — the old path without the domain, e.g. old-page or blog/2024/old-article.
   • Status code — which kind of redirect to use (see below).
4. Save.

From now on, yourdomain.com/old-page forwards to this page.

Which status code to pick#

Tip: When in doubt, use 301. It tells search engines to transfer the old address's ranking to the new page.

Typical workflow: renaming a page's address#

1. Before changing anything, note the current Slug.
2. Change the slug to the new one and save.
3. In the Redirects panel, add the old slug into the Old url field with status code 301.
4. Test: open yourdomain.com/old-slug in the browser — you should land on the new address.

Frequently asked questions#

The redirect doesn't fire. Check the Old url value has no leading https://, no domain and no leading slash — it's just the path, e.g. old-page.

The old address still shows a live page. Redirects are checked before pages, so if a redirect exists for an address, it wins — make sure you saved it on the right content. Conversely, don't create a redirect from an address you still want to serve as a page: the page would become unreachable.

Can I redirect to an external website? No — redirects always point to the content they're attached to.
