How Do I Redirect a URL in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:25 pm

Assuming you are using Apache or Nginx as your web server, the process of URL redirection is fairly simple. If you want to redirect a URL in WooCommerce, you can do so by adding a line of code to your .htaccess file. For example, if you want to redirect the URL example.com/old-page to example.com/new-page, you would add the following line of code to your .htaccess file:

Redirect 301 /old-page http://www.example.com/new-page

If you are not using Apache or Nginx as your web server, you will need to consult your web server’s documentation for instructions on how to set up a URL redirect.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to redirect a URL in WooCommerce, it is important to first backup your site. This is because there is a possibility that something could go wrong during the redirect process and you could lose data. Once you have backed up your site, you can proceed with the redirect.

Once you have added the appropriate line of code to your .htaccess file, save the file and upload it to your server. The next time someone tries to access the old URL, they will be automatically redirected to the new one.
