How to redirect a page to another page or website using .htaccess?

Contents

    If a page on your website no longer exists and you want to redirect it to your new page or site, then you can use the .htaccess file for redirection without waiting.

     

    Redirect from a page/directory to another domain or the main domain:

    Redirect from a specific page to a domain:
    RewriteEngine on
    Redirect 301 /mypage.html https://example.com

     

    Redirect from a page to another page:
    Redirect from a page/directory to another page
    Redirect 301 /oldpage.html /newpage.html

     

    Now, whenever you open the URL example.com/oldpage.html, it will automatically redirect you to example.com/newpage.html.

      Why do we need .htaccess for this? Because sometimes the dashboard just can’t.
