All of the opinions expressed in this video are my own, I was not paid to make this video. Whenever there is a link in any of my videos, if there is a referral program available, please assume that you are clicking on a referral link.
Thank you so much! This video was extremely helpful. I was searching for hours for help with this and luckily I found it all in one video. Thanks again!
Thanks very much Adam. This is just what I needed. It's a little nerve wracking moving from a static site to WordPress, especially when you have to tinker with the .htaccess file. I appreciate your information on the plugins. Saved me a ton of time! Thanks again. To the point as usual.
I love your explanations. I always get it all clear. Thank you.
Awesome information, as always.
Another Good video Thanks!
I checked the Redirection plugin and it actually has some automatic features now:
from Plugin description
"Why would I want to use this instead of .htaccess?
Ease of use. Redirections are automatically created when a post URL changes, and it is a lot easier to manually add redirections than to hack around a .htaccess. You also get the added benefit of being able to keep track of 404 errors."
I had tried it while recording the video, but to me it didn't look like it was creating anything automatically, so I cut it out of the video. I probably just did something wrong.
Well I just read the description never tested... But I will try it on my site in some time :-)
Thank you, actually today I had a problem with this and you posted this video just in time! Keep the great work please!
I'm glad this was helpful L e n d a and thanks for watching.
Thanks Adam for the insights. Any clues on doing WILDCARD 301 redirects in .htaccess from one domain to another where the URL hierarchy is the same just different top level domain?
you are so fu&^ awesome you have saved me so much time and energy thank you
Awesome. Perfect video. Exactly what I needed. I have Rank Math and now I feel much more informed. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this dude!! I want to combine several posts into one long post! This is perfect!
Man you're the best, you always have a solution for everything ! Thank you
Saw you in that Austin Powers movie. You tried to rule the world? I see you're doing WordPress now. I guess everybody needs to make a living, including super-villains that fail. good luck
Thanks for this. I changed some catergories and now have this issue lol.
Update thank that free plugin is great as well. You can just 301 redirect to the new catergories. I just did the ones showing up on google. It would take a long time to go back through and find the old busted links. But I plan to have better link seo in the future. Thanks very much for making this video you have earned a subscription!
Thanks for the direction on redirection! :)
You're welcome Chad B! Thanks for watching.

Dear Adam, first of all i love your stuff and lots of thanks from the Netherlands. It have been really helpfull to me. but: When i read google documentation on removed pages/404/redirect etc. One thing popped up and confused me. Google says the following thing on their website ( i copied and paste): 1)Most 404 errors don't affect your site's ranking in Google, so you can safely ignore them. 2)Decide if it's worth fixing. Many (most?) 404 errors are not worth fixing. Here's why:Sort your 404s by priority and fix the ones that need to be fixed. You can ignore the other ones, because 404s don't harm your site's indexing or ranking. 3)If it is a deleted page that has no replacement or equivalent, returning a 404 is the right thing to do.
If it is a bad URL generated by a script, or that never have existed on your site, it's probably not a problem you need to worry about. It might bother you to see it on your report, but you don't need to fix it, unless the URL is a commonly misspelled link (see below). ...And the one that scared me the most ;) (Once Google has successfully crawled a URL, it can try to crawl that URL forever. Issuing a 300-level redirect will delay the recrawl attempt, possibly for a very long time.) So...Do you think it is ok for non techs to download a plugin and start redirecting like that?
Thanks Man, this is really helpful but i need a plugin that after a popup comes up and show a message let´s say 10 seconds later, automatically redirects the visitor to the new site. Do you know or have ideas about a specific plugin who does that? Thanks for your kind help again.
I understand if in Redirection plugin if in "When matched" you choose "Pass-through" the destination url will show my site page url. That is great for affiliate marketing. Choose 301.
You help me a lot thank you!
You're welcome 077 Di! Thanks for watching.
Thank you Adam for making that video, it will help me :)
You're welcome Christian Lecuyer.
Thanks so much for this!!!
Thank you Adam :)
This is for redirecting blogs or URLs on the same domain. Can you please make one on how to do 301 redirects on a different domain.
Another awesome video Adam, I have learnt a few new tricks here
I'm glad this was helpful kolsongar and thanks for watching.
Thank you!!! You really helped me! My site was completely deleted, there is no backup. I had to redirect everything! I'm from Ukraine and do not know very well English, sorry for my bad English!)
Sorry to hear your site was deleted. Glad that redirection was able to at least make it so you could show something to your website visitors until you get it resolved.
Thank you sir for this video. Its really helpful for me..
I'm glad this was helpful Jignesh Bhanushali and thanks for watching.
I'm testing it out but I think you just became my new best friend
I hope it works out great for you.
I recently created a new website on WP and then created all my redirects (using Redirection) for all the articles from my old Joomla website. Evidently Elementor is blocking the redirects I created with Redirection. Wondering if there would be compatibility with Yoast
any info on RegEx expression for redirect from postname to category/postname
Another great video!!! You always seem to publish them just when I need them. :)
Can you make a video on how to add the google analytics code. I know you can just add the tracking id to monster insights or yoast analytics but I'm trying to keep the amount of plugins I use to a minimum. The problem I'm having is where to put it. I'm using an Astra theme with a child. If I go to wp/appearances/editor/Astra/header.php I can install it but it doesn't show if I view source because its on the parent. Even if it did work, I'm not sure I want it there in case it updates and I lose it. Alternately, I can go to wp/appearances/editor/Child Theme/ but then the only options it shows is style.css and functions.php. I'm sure there is a code that will allow you to add it to the functions.php but I would rather put it directly into the header.php. I guess I just don't know where to access the header.php on the child theme. I'm using the same astra/elementor/portfolio setup you showed in the portforlio video. Thanks!
I probably don't need a whole video on it just to know where the header.php is but for the rest of your followers, its a good topic. :)
hi I have a question, I have this website recently redesign, Fortunately, I run website urls before the redesign, but I have a huge list of urls, how can I make this faster?
Hi Adam Preiser, At first to say that, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Today I have a problem with my niche website. If I remove my old image and upload a new image for the same keyword and alt text. Should I have to redirect?
Where is the best for redirecting domain avoiding bad impact in SEO? REDIRECT DOMAIN in Domain Registrar or Using 301 in webserver?
ADAM
Thanks for this tutorial!
Now, what do I do with the old posts that have been redirected to a new URL-should I leave them published, change them to draft mode, or put them in the trash?
Keep on keepin' on!
NEAL
Hello! I am really a beginner. I like your videos because I can put these problems on front of my web designer. I have a Q: so if I make a redesign for my website and I will probably delete some pages I need to redirect the URLs to home page?
Yes it's always a good idea to have a redirect in place. You don't have to redirected to the homepage if there are no inbound links.
Hey Adam, thanks for that video.
Question:
Will this redirect work with redirecting the WooCommerce Shop Page URL to another page's URL. Particularly when wanting to change which page, (on your site) the WooCommerce buttons on the Checkout & Cart pages send a customer?
Thanks so much for this video!!! The free version of the plugin now does the redirect automatically as soon as you change the url on an already published post. One unrelated question: what did you use to capture your screen + show you talking at the same time? (I did google that but no bueno.)
What if I am completely taking down the old site, which is named differently, and I’m setting up a WordPress site but using 10 of those posts?. Do I need to set up redirects on those blog post pages? Do I have to do this if the old URL is not live?
I have changed my domain from .net to .com.au how would I redirect this? Every plugin on WP I have used doesn't work this way. I have also tried using search console but when I tell them it is a new site it says 'We couldn't crawl your site. Check that Googlebot can crawl the root of your site using the Fetch as Google tool. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great content Adam! Quick question, is there any way to increase your Google engine search results? I've added key words but my website is still not showing in the first couple of searched pages. Could help me with any advise?
How to redirect a whole website to a new domain? and when I search my blogpost on google, will it still show my old domain name? or will it show my new website name?

For my company, I have just acquired two other businesses and would want to take their websites and point them to my current website. How would you got about doing thisto preserve SEO value from the two other websites? Can I just 301 redirect the other domains to my current domain or would I need to take each individual page from both of those sites and 301 redirect them somewhere on my current site? Would I need to do this in the .htacess file?
Could you please make a Video how to enter a field for attachment in Elementor page builder forms?))
Good video Adam,
I am going to have many redirects (static -> wordpress), how long should a redirect be in place for?
Does it eventually get removed?
So if Premium Yoast does this for you, does this 301 disappear if you unsubscribe from premium?
Hey Adam...Quick question! I am just changing the DOMAIN NAME of one of my websites. So, are REDIRECTS something you do AFTER you have moved the existing site to the NEW domain name? (Which would mean that until you enter all the redirects, the site will get 404 errors.) Correct?
Hi, Does this redirection plugin work for to redirection from my deleted page to a page on ( another ) website ? Thanks
Yes. As long as the new page is registered under the same domain, you can use the link bread crumbs from the old page to redirect to new pages on your new site.
I've tried multiple plugins and none have the ability to add rel =
nofollow or noopener! None of these have the option? If you know how I
can do this please help thank you!
Sir, kindly make video for that Import option in case my client doesn't have wp site.
Hey I will use 301 redirect technique after seeing your video but my domains is not index after 30 days and no results will appear can you please more guide me how I do now?
Bhai mujhe ek website me help chahiye
Me jab website vist karta hun it automatically redirect to wordpress logni url page how to slove this problem
Thanks Adam. I literally made a change to a couple of my pages yesterday and just used this. Thanks!!
Been subscribed for a while and sticking to it!!
WOw, was just doing a followup on my Google Console and discovered a bunch of 404 errors. a bunch have "page-name/www.mydomain.com" weird, any idea how that would happen? Also seeing some with page names that shouldn't even be there. Like it was hacked. Running scan using WordFence now, though now been using iThemes since your video re WordPress slowing the site down.
Thanks in advance.
One quest I had a while back, and I think I've gotten my answer, but you may have something to add or it could be helpful to your users.
*Can creating too many 301 redirects be harmful?*
I had a customers website I was completely revamping and switching platforms, which was around 50 pages. The structure of the old site was not what I'd want it to be, so I ended up going with different URL's for all but 3 of the pages. I created 47 301 redirects to ensure any old links to their site would not be broken once we switched.
The info that I found said that this is not a problem, and that it is unlikely this would do SEO harm with Google. Have you found this to be the case?
Kyle Van Deusen I'd like to know what Adam says about this too. 👍
Yes it's totally fine. And you want to leave them there forever if there are backlinks out there. Most likely Google will update it's index within a month. But there is no harm at all. Heck, I have more than that on my site right now.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies Thank you, Adam.
i need one help.. can you just help me out? can you tell me how can i remove nofollow attributes?
Hey Adam: I just created a completely new site for a client - same domain but a different set of pages. When I search the client's business on Google, all of the pages for the old site still pull up - including some that were schema! Of course, all of the links go to pages that don't exist on the new site. Do I need to find all these old pages and set up redirects to similar pages on the new site? Hoping not to tank this client's rankings by messing this up!

Hi am thinking of creating a redirect from my domain to another domain. Except Wp-admin.Is that possibel..pls
Is this the same way to change the URL from HTTP to HTTPS?
Why did'nt you say anything about a scenario when you buy multiple domains and then redirect to you website. This is also doable via your doamin account for example i use godaddy. there you can just add your old domain and all pages will just direct to your home page and you can mask the redirect too. You manually dont have to add all your 100 pages and redirect them. Also i used it to redirect my old website url to my new website but the redirect is not working.
Hi - I have a WP site with SSL Cert but the URL is showing an exclamation - saying my site is not fully secured - I have installed Redirection plugin as you advise but I don't know what to put in the "Source URL" or the "Target URL" - could you help me please?
You probably have some insecure content being loaded on your site or there hasn't been enough time for your new SSL certificate to kick in yet.
Thank you - I'll take a look.
Are you available for consultation?
Hello, I live and put food on the table because of my SEO on my website and I need help with this, I saw the video but would love if you could set up a meeting with me and I could pay for this. Thank you! Hope to hear back.

How to deal with crawl error with API?
I am not familiar with that, sorry.
Why do links work when I'm on administrator mode but I get a "too many redirects" error when I'm in visitor mode?
That's very strange and hard to answer in the RUclips. comment section. My first thought is it would be a problem with your caching.
Ok, I'll look into it. Thank you.
@@amorphous3423 did you figure out this problem? I have the same problem on my personal phone or even trying to view the website on my wife's phone and tablet.
Thank you for the video i have a little request; i have a multisite but i am having a major issue with my subdomains and mapped domains.
If the urls are not full typed with https they will redirect to the multisite primary domain.
eg: (mysubdomain.com or mapped-domain.com) will work well but (mysubdomain.com or mapped-domain.com) will redirect to the primary domain
Please how can i solve this?
Thank you
hi i have 80 redirects i need to fix that somehow
If you upgrade to the paid version of Yoast, can you use it on multiple sites?
Unfortunately, they charge on a per-site basis for their licenses.
redirect old domain to new domain wordpress
there are better videos on this topic out there.
austin powers...
You mean Dr. Evil?
This guy’s head looks creepy appearing like that. Lol
Rank Math SEO plugin will do it for you like a swiss knife! Your video is outdated today.
Another great video Adam... you read my mind with this one! I just have one question since both your examples were about url's within the same website. Am I understanding correctly that if I have an old domain name from a site that I'm merging to become part of a new site with a completely different domain name, then using the free Redirection plug-in I simply enter the old domain name as the "source" url and it's new domain name (that's part of the new website) as the "target" url?
