ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

 Page redirect is a method or a means of forwarding an old page link or permalink to a new link to avoid getting your visitors into a 404 page (page not found). This is very important especially if the original page no longer exist.

Many businesses are using WordPress for their website or blog nowadays. As such, it will be inevitable that the need to modify some permalinks may arise as new categories or landing pages come up. Therefore, knowing how to set up page redirects with WordPress could come in handy in the near future.

If you have a website or a blog, you might want to check if there are 404 errors that you may not be aware of. Checking for 404 errors is easy. Simply login to Google Webmaster Tools, go to the "Crawl" section, and click "Crawl Errors" from the sub-menu. Every page link that has a 404 error can be easily spotted in the Google Webmaster tool. Therefore it would be easier for you to address the problem on a page-by-page basis.

How to Set Up Page Redirects:

301 Redirect or Permanent Redirect

301 or permanent redirect is the most common type of redirect. From the name itself, this type of redirect signals searches engine that this particular page has been transferred to a new location permanently.

The good thing about this type of redirect is that you can retain the search engine rankings and the page rank of this particular page after redirecting this to a new URL.

.htaccess Redirect

The.htaccess file is a very critical file in order for WordPress to properly function. Therefore, if you are to edit this particular file, you must take careful attention to changing the command. One simple or minor mistake or even a typo error could cause your website to crash.

To avoid running into this problem, make sure to have a backup of the file. Keep the original file on your desktop before doing any modification. Edit the file one step at a time and check if the site is still working properly. If it does not, you need to copy the backup file and start again.

With Apache server, a 301 redirect can be created using the .htaccess file. All you need to do is to indicate the old location and the new URL location. The code would look like this: Redirect 301 /oldlink.html "http://www.yourwebsite.com/newlink.html"

You can use the same format when redirecting a folder instead of a page. To redirect an entire website, go to the Registrar or use this code (Redirect 301 / "http://www.yournewwebsite.com" and add it to your .htaccess file. Again, every time you change something, make sure to double-check that the redirects are properly working.
