Setting Up URL Redirects for Your New Site

  2. How to Set Up Redirects

 

Use custom URL redirects on your instance if you are migrating from an existing learning site and need to redirect current URLs to the new pages on your Thought Industries site.

For example, your old site may have displayed all content on www.yourdomain.com/content, while the new page on Thought Industries would be the catalog page at www.yourdomain.com/catalog. In this case, you would set up a redirect from /content to /catalog so that learners can easily find their way to the new catalog page by being directed there automatically.

How to Set Up Redirects

  1. From your homepage, click Settings.
  2. From the left menu, click Setup > Redirects.
  3. Click Add Redirect.

  4. Next, populate both fields listed below. You must start each URL with / or https://.
    • Redirect From: This is the URL you want to redirect learners from. For example, you might want to redirect from www.yourdomain.com/content.
    •  Redirect To: This is the URL you want to direct learners to. For example, you might want to redirect to www.yourdomain.com/catalog.

  6. Under Custom Redirects, click Test Redirect to confirm your URL is being redirected to the correct place. You can also type the redirected URL into your browser to test it.

There is no delay time on redirect setup. The changes are immediate.
