Redirects
The best way to do proper redirects with Combine is to define them within your hosting provider.
Some hosts don't provide a redirect feature though. So if you really need redirects and are ok with it not being a real 301/302, you can use Combine's basic HTML redirect template.
This works by creating a {path}.redirect
page (like you would any other page) and putting a URL in the contents.
So, to redirect /contact-us/
to /contact/
,
you would create contact-us.redirect
with this content:
<!-- contact-us.redirect -->
/contact/
Under the hood, this is rendered using a template that will effectively get a user to where they need to go:
<!-- redirect.template.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<link rel=canonical href="{{ redirect_url }}">
<meta http-equiv=refresh content="0; url={{ redirect_url }}">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<a href="{{ redirect_url }}">Click here if you are not redirected.</a>
<script>location='{{ redirect_url }}'</script>
</body>
</html>
