Instructions
Click Site Tools, and then click Redirects
Select desired domain
All Sites: By selecting this option, you will apply the Redirect to all your domains; this is the most recommended option
By selecting an actual domain the redirect will only be active for that domain
Note:
If you choose this route you will need to add the redirect to the www and non-www domain - e.g. www.civicplus.com and civicplus.com.
Select the redirect you want to modify
Modify the redirect
Link From: This is the end of the shortened URL, which will display as the redirect, such as /Parade
Note:
You will need to include the /, however, do not include a full URL.
For security reasons, the following extensions have been restricted from use in the redirects module: .axd and .js.
Link To: This is where the shortened URL will go, such as /78/2017-Annual-Parade
A Full URL is the complete web address for a page or website. For example, http://civicplus.com/78/2017-Annual-Parade is a Full URL.
A Relative URL is the ending section of a Full URL. It is the part of a web address that comes after .com, .gov, .org, or whatever the top-level domain of your website may be. For example, /78/2017-Annual-Parade is the Relative URL of http://civicplus.com/78/2017-Annual-Parade.
Retain URL: Controls if the Link From shows once the destination loads
Note:
By doing this, if a user moves away from the page it will still keep the Link From address.
Retain Query String: Controls whether query string parameters will be carried over to the From URL
A query string is a part of a URL containing data that does not conveniently fit into a hierarchical path structure. It commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example, as part of an HTML form.
Retain Path: Controls if the path from From URL shows once the destination loads
Match Query String: Controls if the redirect will require the query string to match
Display: Controls the redirect to only be active during a certain period of time
