Redirecting a Page to a New Location

 

Introduction

The purpose of this instruction set is to learn the proper steps to redirect a page on your website to another location. The location could be a website, a page, or a file in your Assets. Your Assets contain any  material that you have uploaded to your website. As long as a location has a URL, you can redirect and open your page to its location for viewing. This is helpful if you have PDF files that are difficult to embed on your page or if you have created an additional website that you want to link to from your main website.

The task is easy for users who have a general understanding of managing and working blogs and will only take minutes. The following video tutorial will walk you through how to complete this task. After listening to the video, you will be ready to tackle our instructions below.
