<noinclude>{{Help screen navbox|3.0|Components Help Screens}}</noinclude>==Overview==
The Redirect Manager is a component that is accessed from the back-end of a Joomla! website. It was introduced in Joomla! 1.6 and its main function is to provide a mechanism to give an Administrator the ability to redirect the URL of 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==
* Select '''Components → Redirect''' from the drop-down menu of the '''''Joomla! Administrator Panel'''''.

==Description==
This component is primarily used for redirecting 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 a working one on your website which actually loads a web page. It can be the URL to a web page which you have disabled in the Joomla! back-end administrator interface. The ''Source 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'' you specify when you create a redirect must be the full URL as well.

==Column Headers==
Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.
{{Chunk30:colheader|Checkbox}}
*'''Expired URL.''' The URL which is being redirected on your website. Only the web page portion of the URL is displayed in this listing.
*'''New URL.''' The destination URL for the redirect.
*'''Referring Page.''' The referring web page for the redirect.

==List Filters==

You can filter the list of items by typing in part of the Title or the ID number.

====Filter by State====
In the upper right area, above the column headings, there is one drop-down list box as shown below:

==Batch Processing==
Below the listing of redirects, is a section named 'Update selected links to the following new URL'. This function allows you to change the 'Destination URL' for the selected redirects.

==Quick Tips==
* In order for your redirects to work, you must enable the option '''Use Apache mod_rewrite''' in the '''Global Configuration''' options of your Joomla! installation. Note also that just enabling the 'Use Apache mod_rewrite' option is not enough. You must take the additional step of renaming the ''htaccess.txt'' file in the web site directory where you installed Joomla! to ''.htaccess'' or to whatever file name your Apache web server requires for additional configuration directives. In the Apache configuration file this setting is named 'AccessFileName' and by default this is set to '.htaccess'
