How to redirect a category to another link?
Simply go to catalog > URL rewrite management
and choose "add rewrite" then choose your "custom" from dropdown.
In Request path section enter your category link
(ex. if url is www.example.com/category then enter category
only)
and in Target path enter your target url (ex. if blog url is "www.example.com/blog" then just "blog")
Hope this helps.
Update 1
If you receive Request Path for Specified Store already exists.
then you need to go to catalog > Url rewrite management
and then edit that category by finding it in that grid page.
Update 2
If none of above work for your try to add redirect in your .htaccess
file
Redirect 301 /category.html http://www.example.com/blog.html
Explanation
For each store magento needs unique identity for request path
, so you cannot add another and by default magento disables category rewrites request path field
. So .htaccess
is the best option here unless you update it from database directly. And good thing with the .htaccess
is you can simply remove it when you need it but if you directly edited your database then will need to edit it again when removing.
Go to catalog -> URL rewrite management
, create "add url rewrite".
choose "custom" in "Create URL Rewrite:" field.
In Request path
give your "News menu url".
In target path
give your "blog url".
save changes.
If you get any error, find your request path in the grid.If it already exists try edit that one or delete that one.
