Question about the redirects functionality built-in to 7.5.
Does it only provide automatic redirects from node titles that have changed? Or can you also create your own redirects (for instance we have 430 redirects we'd like to implement from a site redesign).
Whenever an incoming request is served and the default content finders
cannot find a matching document, Umbraco checks whether the URL
matches one of these saved URLs. If a match is found, Umbraco returns
a "301 Redirect" answer pointing to the new URL of the document.
Umbraco does not support rewriting "rules" (e.g. regular expressions)
nor complex scenarios (e.g. changing the culture and hostnames
configuration). There already are powerful solutions to deal what that
type of situations.
There are a few different 301 tracker packages avalible for Umbraco that you could use instead that will give you this functionallity.

Hi Mobeet.
I dont think that this is possible no, and looking at the documentation it does´nt seem like this is the purpose of the Url-Tracker. https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Routing/URL-Tracking/
There are a few different 301 tracker packages avalible for Umbraco that you could use instead that will give you this functionallity.
Take care!
Hi Mobeet
There are 2 ways which I can suggest for you to do this:
The first way is to add them to the urlRewriting file http://www.codeshare.co.uk/blog/how-to-create-url-rewrite-rules-in-umbraco/
The other way is to add them in umbraco http://www.codeshare.co.uk/blog/create-a-redirect-page-in-umbraco-without-editing-the-config-file/
I hope this helps

Not the answer you might looking for but with SEOChecker you can import those 430 redirects using the Excel import redirect option.

FYI: The very best and most performant way to do this is to use URL rewrite maps:

Thanks a lot for all of the suggestions!
