How to Redirect Knowledge Base Page URLs

 

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.

 

Note: The permalink is the latter part of a URL. For example, if the full URL is "http://online-help-manual-new-test.helpdocsonline.com/track-your-package," the permalink is "track-your-package," as shown in the image below.

 

What is a permalink?
