301 Redirects

When performing changes such as multiple edits to a member’s URL structure, or updating a business name or address, the system will automatically create a redirect so that any of the old links continue to resolve to the correct page.

Adding 301 Redirects

1) Navigate to Developer Hub >> 301 Redirects:

2) Click the “New Redirect Rule” button:

3) In the “Source URL (Current Page)” column, enter the original URL that needs redirecting. In the “Redirect URL (New Page)” column, enter the destination URL (on the BD site) to which the old URL should forward.

• The Source URL may originate from any website.

• The Redirect URL must point to a page within the BD site.

• If the URL resides in a directory/folder on the site, enter only the relative path (without domain) for the source.

4) Optionally, add a note or description for reference indicating the purpose of the redirect rule.:

Find Unused Redirects

Use the “Find Unused Redirects” button to scan redirect destination URLs and identify those that resolve to a 404 (“Page Not Found”) status. The system will then display all such redirects, allowing cleanup of obsolete rules.

Importing 301 Redirects

For bulk redirect creation, it is possible to import a CSV file listing Source URLs and their corresponding Redirect URLs.
