Overview

Redirect Manager is a component that is accessed from the back-end of a Joomla! website. It is new to Joomla! 1.6 and its main function is to provide a mechanism to give an Administrator the ability to redirect a URL to a web page which no longer exists to a working web page. You must have the Use Apache mod_rewrite option enabled in your Joomla! installation Global Configuration options in order for the redirects you create to function.

How to access

Back-end, Components -> Redirect Manager

Description

This component is primarily used for redirect URLs for web pages that no longer exist on your website to web pages that are working. The URL you want to redirect from must not be an existing web page on your website which exists. The Source URL URL you specify when you create the redirect should be the full URL as you would type it in your web browser. The component will only display the last portion of the source URL in the redirect listing. The Destination URL URL you specify when you create a redirect must be the full URL as well.
