Scheduling a Redirect

Scheduling a redirect can only be done when you add a new redirect. To do this, follow the steps below.

First, click on Redirects in the All in One SEO menu.

You'll see the Redirects screen and at the top will be the Add New Redirect form.

In the Source URL field, enter the URL you want to redirect from. The URL must be a relative URL, i.e. don't include the https://mydomain.com part of your URL.

In the Target URL field, enter the URL you want to redirect to. The URL can be either a relative URL or an absolute URL.

Setting the Redirect Type

To set the Redirect Type, click on the Advanced Settings toggle to enable the advanced settings. You'll see the Redirect Type drop down, click on this to select the type of redirect you want. The two most common are:

• 301 Moved Permanently: Use this if you want to permanently redirect the old URL because the content has been deleted or moved.
• 307 Temporary Redirect: Use this if you only want to temporarily redirect the old URL.

Scheduling Your Redirect

In the Advanced Settings, click on the Select Rule drop down and select Schedule.

You'll see Start Date and End Date fields where you can select a date and set a time. Use these to select the date and time you want the redirect to start and end.

If you leave the End Date field blank, the redirect will have no end date and will continue until you disable or delete it.

Click the Add Redirect button to add your redirect.
