301 Redirects Made Easy

Many members ask me what to do about pages/posts they wish to delete. Here is the method to create a "redirect" from the old URL (link) to the new one cleanly. I will reveal two methods - one that's easy, but requires a plug-in. The other, not so easy, but, I'll walk you through it and it doesn't require a plug-in.

Please like and comment below. Also, let me know if you have questions.

Cheers,

pj

The deleted pages will no longer show in Google Search Console as a 404 - not found, correct.

Thanks again. Peej, I've learned a lot from you here at WA. Going to do it the ugly way. I mean without the pretty link plugin. I got this, but wish me luck anyway.

Thank you again. I suggest everyone bookmark this info. I see it's the easiest for me to understand, and one of the few 301 info that is up to date here a WA
