Redirects & 404 log

Core SEO → Redirects

Add a redirect#

Enter the Old address (/old-page/), the New address (/new-page/ or a full URL) and the type:

Type	Use for
301 Moved permanently	The default: the page has a new address for good.
302 Found / 307 Temporary redirect	Temporary moves.
410 Gone	Deleted on purpose; search engines drop it faster.
451 Unavailable for legal reasons	Removed for legal reasons.

Tick Regular expression for patterns, for example ^/blog/(.*) → /news/$1. Query strings such as utm tags are passed on. The list shows hits and the last hit; Test opens the old address.

Automatic redirects#

When the address of a published page, post or category changes, a redirect from the old address is added automatically (on by default, under Settings on this screen).

Import & export#

Import redirects from Yoast SEO Premium, Rank Math or the Redirection plugin in one click, add them from a CSV (old address, new address, type, regex 1/0) or download all as CSV.

404 log#

Core SEO → 404 log lists the addresses people tried that do not exist, most visited first, with where they came from. Redirect fills in the best matching page; check it and save. Bots and scanners are not logged unless you switch that on, and the log keeps the 2000 most recent addresses (adjustable).
