My Website Guidance "Redirects" Page

Introduction

This guide is the sixth installment in our Franpos website series. It provides detailed instructions on how to configure URL redirections within the Redirects page found under the My Website section. Following this walkthrough will help you manage domain paths effectively without rebuilding your website structure from scratch.

Purpose of Redirection

If you previously used an external domain with custom URLs leading to specific pages, Franpos allows you to set up redirections. This feature helps you preserve your existing URL structure and user experience by directing visitors from your old paths to the new ones on your Franpos website.

Set-up

To add a new redirection, click the Create button. A new field will appear where you can enter the key information

Key Terms



  • Old Path: The original URL path before migrating to Franpos.
  • New Path: The target URL path within your Franpos website structure.

Redirection Types


You can select one of two types of redirections based on your needs:

301 Permanent Redirect

Use this when the old URL will no longer be used. It permanently redirects traffic and search engines to the new path and transfers SEO value to maintain search rankings.

302 Temporary Redirect

Use this when the redirection is only temporary. It informs browsers and search engines that the original URL will be restored, so SEO value is not passed to the new path.

Page Controls


  • Save: Store your redirection configurations.
  • Edit: To modify an existing redirection.
  • Delete: Remove an individual redirection entry.
  • Batch Actions: Select and delete multiple redirection entries simultaneously.

Import and Export Options

Manage your redirection settings efficiently with CSV file operations:

  • Import: Upload a CSV file to add multiple redirection entries at once.
  • Export: Download your current redirection settings as a CSV file for backup or bulk editing.
