Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Post Redirect

On the post edit screen, look for the "Redirect" metabox. You can choose between "External URL" or "Internal Content".
Yes, simply switch to External and clear the URL, or remove the Internal selection, then update the post.
By default, redirection is 301 (Moved Permanently), which is best for SEO. You can change this to 307 or 308 in the settings or per-post.
