How to Redirect the URLs of Knowledge Base Pages
In ProProfs Knowledge Base, the 301 redirect feature allows you to permanently redirect users accessing a URL to a different URL without impacting SEO.
301 redirect helps you to:
-
Forward users accessing a page/URL to a new page/URL
-
Minimize the impact on your SEO while redirecting users to the new URL without losing the ranking power of the former URL
To redirect the pages of your knowledge base, you need to copy its permalink.
Step 1: In your ProProfs Knowledge Base account:
-
Navigate to Settings >> Table of Contents
