Redirects

Redirects send visitors from one URL to another. They're essential when you rename or restructure pages — without redirects, old links and bookmarks would lead to "Page Not Found" errors.

When to use redirects

  • You changed a page's slug (URL path)
  • You moved a page under a different parent
  • You deleted a page but want the old URL to go somewhere useful
  • You want a short vanity URL (e.g., /give → your giving platform)

Setting up a redirect manually

  1. Go to Settings → Redirects
  2. Click Add item
  3. Enter the source path (the old URL, starting with /)
  4. Enter the destination (where visitors should be sent)

Important: Redirect changes require a site rebuild to take effect. After publishing your redirect changes, the site will automatically rebuild — but it may take a few minutes for the redirect to go live.

Automatic redirects from slug changes

When you change a page's slug and publish, Studio detects the change and offers to create a redirect for you automatically — so existing links to the old URL keep working.

What happens when you publish

A dialog titled Slug change detected appears before the page is published. It shows:

  • This page — the old URL and the new URL
  • Child pages (if any) — any nested pages whose URLs will also change, each listed with their old and new paths

Click Publish & create redirects to accept. Studio will:

  1. Update the page's slug (and patch child page slugs so they stay correct)
  2. Create a redirect entry in Settings → Redirects for each URL that changed
  3. Mark those redirects as auto-generated

Click Cancel to back out without publishing.

Finding auto-generated redirects

In the redirect list, automatic entries show:

  • A • auto label next to the destination in the preview
  • A read-only Created by field set to "Auto (slug change)"
  • A read-only Source page field linking back to the page whose slug changed
  • A Created at timestamp

You can edit or delete auto-redirects the same as manual ones.

Heads up: Auto-redirects cover the old URL → new URL jump. If you've shared the old URL in external materials (newsletters, social posts, printed materials), those will still work — but it's worth updating the source materials where you can.
